How to Close Split Screen on iPad
The inability to exit split screen on your iPad, whether you started using it intentionally or by mistake, may be quite aggravating. Here’s how to get out of split screen on your iPad: Don’t be concerned. Here’s how to bring your iPad back to its usual state of operation.
1. When you have two apps open on the screen, you should notice a black divider bar between them.
2. Using your finger, hold that bar and move it to the left or right, depending on whether you want to close the left or right application. In the example below, Chrome will take up the additional half of the screen that is now occupied by the programme Nebo, as shown.
3. Release the bar when you reach the edge of the screen, and you’ll be sent back to the fuel screen view.
How to Close a Floating Window on iPad
In the event that you remove an application from the dock and set it on top of a window that is already open, rather than launching in split screen, the application will open as a floating window. The quickest and most straightforward method of getting rid of the floating window is to turn it to split screen mode and then shut it.
1. The centre button on the floating screen should be touched and held for a few seconds before being dragged down to its lowest position.
2. When the floating screen tries to combine into a split screen view, just release the button on your keyboard.
3. Then slide the split screen divider to the right or left to close the screen you want to hide from the audience.
How to Disable Split Screen on iPad
If you aren’t used to using split screen on your iPad and you find yourself in this situation by mistake, you may find the function to be a little aggravating. Alternatively, if split screen isn’t something you anticipate yourself using very frequently and you don’t see the point in leaving it enabled, you may disable split screen altogether to avoid accidently entering split screen (or a floating window) by accident.
1. Open Settings and select Home Screen & Dock from the drop-down menu. You’ll find it under the General settings section of the menu.
2. On the Home Screen & Dock page, select Multitasking from the drop-down menu.
3. Then on the Multitasking page, toggle Allow Multiple Apps off (the toggle will turn gray).
You no longer have to be concerned about becoming stuck in split screen mode.
