iOS 9 is coming out this fall with a set of new features and performance enhancements. One of the attracting features is the Multitasking on iPad in iOS 9. The multitasking on the iPad includes three aspects: a Slide Over app sidebar, a side-by-side Split View, and the Picture in Picture window. Here we will talk about how does multitasking work on iPad in iOS 9.

Slide Over

The first stage of multitasking on iPad in iOS 9 is Slide Over. It allows you to jump into a second app while running the main app without closing it. Just swipe from the right side of the display and a narrow pane opens up. A second app is placed along the side of the screen, and the original app is running at full size. For iPad Air 2 users, these two apps can also be run at equal sizes right next to each other.

To run the second app you need in the Slide Over pane, just swiping down from the top of the display opens up a vertical strip of icons. Tap on the app you want to open in the narrow window.
