I have tried using the top grab bar to pull down, and get the Safari icon. The small screen always goes back to the same small screen no matter which way I move it. I know it has worked before, but I can’t get it to go to split screen. Any ideas? Any way to stop getting a small screen? It just seems to happen sometimes.
To convert a Split screen view to full screen, 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.

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