Split screen safari

I hate split screen. I want to open a new window in full screen without freaking losing the previous screen. Am I limited to 2 safari windows? Cause that would be a deal breaker.

iPad mini 3, iOS 12

Depending upon your iPad model, you can have two visible instances of supported Apps in Split View - plus a third instance in Slide Over View.


You can easily manage and manipulate Split and Slide Over views on your iPad. To change a Split 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.

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.
