Its powerful hardware and intuitive software features make it an ideal device for professionals, students, and casual users alike. One of the standout capabilities is its support for advanced multitasking features such as Split View and Slide Over.
Understanding Multitasking on the iPad Air M2
The iPad Air M2 leverages its A14 Bionic chip and iPadOS enhancements to enable seamless multitasking. Users can run multiple apps simultaneously, improving productivity and efficiency. The key features that facilitate this are Split View, Slide Over, and the App Library, which work together to provide a flexible user experience.

Split View allows users to open two apps side by side, each occupying a portion of the screen. This is especially useful for comparing documents, referencing information, or multitasking between communication and productivity apps.
- Activate Split View by dragging an app from the Dock to the left or right edge of the screen.
- Adjust the divider to resize the app windows according to your preference.
- Use the Home Screen or App Switcher to access more apps without closing the split view.
Slide Over
Slide Over provides a way to quickly access a second app in a floating window that hovers over the main app. This is ideal for quick tasks like checking messages or browsing the web without leaving your current app.
- Open an app, then swipe up from the bottom to access the Dock.
- Drag another app from the Dock to the screen’s edge to open it in Slide Over mode.
- Swipe left or right on the Slide Over window to switch between apps.
- Swipe the Slide Over window off the screen to dismiss it.
