Floodgates open for iOS 9 updates but... split view? (especially Apple apps)

I've received lots of updates In 9.1 on my air 2 but nothing seems to support support split view thus far. Really disappointed about chrome and hangouts.

If the past is any indication, Google is going to take many weeks to update their apps for it. (Think iPad updates, then retina iPhone 4 updates, then iPhone 5 screen updates, then iPhone 6 screen updates). Though I hope this time will be different...
 
PCalc is the first to release an update to support SplitView

Not true, there are 3rd party apps in the store that have been updated already to support Split View (PCalc, Launcher are two examples).
iOS 9 is due out tomorrow, which is why all of the "updated for iOS 9" labeled apps started appearing today. I'm just making the observation that some key apps (even from Apple) have JUST been updated today, but lack Split View support. It's obviously because they aren't finished rather than being restricted by Apple- it just would've been nice to have iWork this way out of the gate.

I stand (happily) corrected. Thanks. Here's hoping most of the rest follow.

Launcher?? Could you let me know which app you are referring to. I received PCalc update for SplitView, but haven't heard of Launcher for the iPad..

It's an app that lets you launch certain other apps, web pages, etc. I don't use it much since they updated Workflow to work as a widget (which is awesome, btw, because there's no flipping around to individual apps, the workflow just "happens" invisibly).
 
I thought a lot of apps would support it out of the gate if they were using the scaling APIs from iOS 8?

Guess not?.

Yeah... I thought so too. Especially with Chrome.. It mention that it has iOS 9 compatibility, but failed to support SplitView.

As of now.. Office, Scanbot, Chronicle & PCalc has provided SplitView support.
 
Microsoft excel and word have split view support.

Now the next question is how do I remove slide in apps?
 
Microsoft Office apps were updated today and run in Split-view perfectly.

iWork apps were also updated today and do not support it at all. I guess we'll have to wait for the iPad Pro compatibility updates in November for that.
 
Seeing many updates so far that are for iOS 9 support but don't have split view...thought it was easy for developers to add support for this in?

So far... PDF Expert, Scanner Pro, Clips, Weather Live & NOAA Radar Pro.

Awaiting to see Twitterrific, but I haven't seen any PIP supported apps.
 
Oh look! Apple released a GM of WatchOS2 but yet it's not what is going to be released to the PUBLIC. It has a BUG.

Go figure. But what the heck do I know. To all those with iOS 9 GMs installed before today, enjoy!

I've been thinking the same thing. I'm surprised how few popular apps have updated for this feature. Youtube, WatchESPN, Facebook, CNN, Twitch. None of them offer split screen or picture in picture right now.
 
What media apps do offer picture in picture?
It looks like Hulu updated to this. It would be nice to get a list for this feature.
