For non-iPad users, it essentially works the same as minimizing and maximizing an app or window on a Mac. Many iPad users utilize Slide Over for multitasking, quickly opening and closing an app to make room for other tasks without actually leaving the app.<\/p>\n<p>        SEE ALSO:<br \/>\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/mashable.com\/article\/ipados-26-review\" class=\"flex items-center text-secondary-300\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n            Review: iPadOS 26 finally made me an iPad person<\/p>\n<p>        <\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, when the new iPadOS 26 launched in September, Apple removed a few multitasking features, such as Split View and Slider Over. The reason was simple enough: iPadOS 26 introduces a whole new way to manage apps with its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apple.com\/newsroom\/2025\/06\/ipados-26-introduces-powerful-new-features-that-push-ipad-even-further\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-ga-click=\"1\" data-ga-label=\"$text\" data-ga-item=\"text-link\" data-ga-module=\"content_body\" title=\"(opens in a new window)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">windowing system<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\n            Mashable Light Speed\n        <\/p>\n<p>Multitasking options like Split View were no longer necessary, as the windowing system provides an even better alternative. Users can still view two app windows simultaneously side-by-side.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, nothing in the new iPadOS 26 update acted as a replacement for Slide Over. Apple must have heard from enough iPad users who missed the feature, as it has since returned in the beta version of iPadOS 26.1.<\/p>\n<p>Slide Over is now directly integrated within iPadOS 26&#8217;s new windowing system. Users will also be able to resize the app window. However, the newly reintroduced Slide Over has one drawback: It currently only works with one app at a time.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe Apple will reintroduce the ability to switch between multiple apps in Slide Over in future beta versions, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apple is bringing Slide Over back to the iPad.
