email split screen on iPad

I have a IPAD 5 with IOS 14.4 and email only is in a split screen. Tried turning off multitasking and a reset but it has not changed from a split screen.

iPad 2, iOS 9

The native Mail App always presents a sidebar in Landscape view. This isn’t a Split Screen view - but might resemble a 30/70 split.


If you do have a Split Screen view, place your finger one the centre of the central divider (you’ll see a little grey drag bar) and drag the divider to the edge of the screen - then release; your split-screen view will become full-screen.


You can manipulate other screen views in a similar way. To transform a Slide Over view, to Split Screen, use the grey drag-bar at the top of the Slide Over Window; drag downwards and to towards the side of the screen. As the view changes, lift your finger.


You can also change a Slide Over to a Full Screen view. This time, using the same drag-bar, drag to the top-centre of the screen, then release.

The iPad User Guide for iPadOS is also a rich source of information. Here are links to both the downloadable and online versions of the Guide:

I hope this explanation and additional information is helpful in resolving any difficulties you may be having with Multitasking features of your iPad.
