Use Your iPad as a Second Monitor

Sure, Split View is great, but do you know what would really take your multitasking to the next level? That’s right, having two monitors.

Thanks to a feature called Sidecar, you can connect your Mac to your iPad to use it as a second monitor! You can even move windows across both devices and use the touchscreen to draw (or sign a document) on your Mac. Here’s how to do it:

1. First, make sure you’re using the same Apple ID on your Mac and iPad.
2. Turn on your Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on both devices. You can also connect them by using a USB cable.
3. On your Mac, go to the Apple Menu.
4. Select System Preferences…
5. Click on Sidecar.
6. Click on Select Device and select your iPad.

Your Mac and iPad screens should turn black for just a second. Afterward, you’ll see your Mac’s home screen on your iPad. Note that you can still use your iPad normally by going back to the home screen.
