Splitting the screen

Yes, you can.

With an app open, swipe up from the bottom to bring up the dock. If the app you want to split is in there, hold your finger down on the icon for a second or so, then drag it up onto the screen. You’ll see the screen go about 2/3 - 1/3, current/new app.

Drag the new app downjust a bit to reveal a little handle on the top. This will allow you to size the split screen.

It’s not a feature that use but I have done it on iOS11 so it does work.

Hi LAYC23. This link: Use Multitasking on your iPad - Apple Support has the full description of how to use Split View and Slide Over in iOS 11.

You can open it to put it in your recent apps (the ones on the very right of the dock) or you can put it into the dock if it’s one that you multitask with often.
