Split view

Split view is a user interface approach to multitasking for full-screen apps, first implemented by Apple in iOS (now iPadOS) for iPads. It is also supported by recent versions of macOS.

iPadOS
The 1st-generation iPad Pro, introduced in late 2015, was the first to support split screen, which eventually appeared on other newer models. Text and image selections can be dragged between supported apps in split view. Multitasking features can be turned on or off at:.

macOS
In 2019, macOS Catalina (version 10.15) introduced an iPad-like split view feature for Mac apps with full-screen user interfaces. It can be accessed from the green full-screen button in a window's title bar, which now displays a pop-up menu with options. In 2021, the split view feature in macOS Monterey (version 12) will be enhanced with the ability to swap out apps or return to a single full screen. An option to keep the menu bar visible in full-screen apps will also be introduced.
