No more Split View / Slide Over

[ianrip]

Clamshell like your iPad is closed, its screen is off, and you're driving an external display?

Yeah, my iPad is actually hiding behind my work laptop, its in a stand, locked and closed

The lack of split-view and slide-over makes the iPad more MacOS. [which i love]. Plus There is the additional window options that give you split-view and slide over.

Hi there. You state..Plus there is the additional windows options that give you split-view and slide over.
I have an iPad air 4 and have tried to get solid view on my iPad but cannot get it to work in ios26 at all you can you please give the exact steps you use to be able to enable split view.

Yeah, i use clam (closed) mostly in my work office, attached to windows keyboard and mouse, its working very well today on 1st day

Clamshell mode does not work for me. (M1 12.9)

It’s working for me on my iPad Pro M4

Clamshell like your iPad is closed, its screen is off, and you're driving an external display?

I was trying this the other day in the office with my studio display and M4 iPad Pro. The second I closed the iPad (Magic Keyboard) or hit the sleep/wake button to turn off its display the studio display also went off. I was using ‘Windowed Apps’ for multitasking.

Anyway, hope its a bug and its something they’re actually working to enable.

There definitely appears to be some discrepancies between clamshell mode on iPadOS 28.

If someone who does have it working, would it be possible to share a a quick video? The screenshots are nice, but don’t really indicate

(Also, auto lock should be active. We do know that if the auto-lock is set to never close the lid, it will work).
