Split screen not working on iPad Air and iOS 11.0
iPad Air Wi-Fi, iOS 11
If you have the original iPad Air, according to the article that MoonJ just referenced, that feature is not available on your device. You'd need to have at least an iPad Air 2.
With Split View, you can use two apps at the same time. For example, you can view photos while you compose an email. Or look at a location in Maps while you search for vacation ideas in Safari.
To use Split View:
- Open an app.
- Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Dock.
- On the Dock, touch and hold the second app that you want to open, then drag it to the right or left edge of the screen.
- If the app opens in Slide Over, drag
up.
Here’s how to adjust Split View:
- To give the apps equal space on the screen, drag the app divider to the center of the screen.
- To turn a Split View into a Slide Over, swipe down from the top of the app.
- To close Split View, drag the app divider over the app that you want to close.

You can use Split View with iPad Pro, iPad (5th generation), iPad Air 2, or iPad mini 4.

I have an ipad pro and while it allows a split screen to be setup as described above, at times it doesn’t allow you to adjust the size of the windows with app divider. i have tried after completely shutting down and it still doesn’t allow adjustment. i have tried swapping which app is on the left with the same result. And then as I mentioned a day or two later it will work for awhile. I thought 11.0.3 would resolve but it actually seems to work less often.

As your problem is completely different from the subject of this thread, you'll get more and better help if you start your own thread with a title describing your issue. It's also considered more polite.
Best of luck.
