iPadOS 26.1 Beta 2 Reintroduces Slide Over Multitasking

[Matsamoto]

Even if i really really welcome this news, and i, among with many more, did send feedback about this to Apple, i’m not convinced that Apple will do this implementation the easy way, like in iPadOS 18.

I really hope that i’m wrong, but the way Apple did the Split View in iPadOS 26 compared to iPadOs 18 it’s just so cumbersome, and i’m little skeptical to that Apple did the slide over the easy way.

But i really hoping that i’m wrong.

Glad to see it back. Don't like features to be removed. I have not yet updated to iPadOS 26. Will do so soon.

You're objectively living your life wrong.

How one lives their life is purely subjective actually, but nice try.

Totally disagree! 👎​

If someone prefers the windowed mode, I don’t see why anyone else should decide it shouldn’t exist. People have been complaining about this lack for at least 5–10 years, and now that it’s finally here, many are happy with it.

many prefer to install macOS on an iPad device
many prefer to install Android on an iPad device
many prefer to install windows on an iPad device

doesn't mean that feature should exist.

What about Linux 😂

Does anyone know whether this is a feature that can be disabled? The inability to have Split View without Slide Over is what killed my use of multitasking on the iPad.

I’m more than a little annoyed when Apple removes software features. Even though I detest Slide Over, I’m more than happy for it to exist! As long as I never have to use it and definitely cannot trigger it accidentally… 🤬
