6Â Floating Slide Over
Two of the best multitasking features for iPad are Slide Over and Split View, which allow you to view multiple apps at once. In iOS 11, the Slide Over window appears as a floating view on the screen which can be placed on either the left or the right side of the screen.
How to View an App in Slide Over:
- Open the first app which you’d like to use, then swipe up from the bottom of the screen to view the dock.
- Tap and hold on an app icon, then drag and drop it on the left or the right side of the screen.
- The app will be displayed in a floating Slide Over window. To move it, tap the handle at the top, then drag it to where you want. You can dock it on either the left or the right side of the screen.
- To dismiss the app, tap and hold the handle at the top, then drag it off the screen from the right side. To view the Slide Over app again, just swipe in from the right edge of the screen and the app will re-appear.
