Tired of Safari Taking Up the Whole iPad? Split That Browser in Two, My Friend!
Let's face it, sometimes one website just isn't enough. You're cruising through cat videos (we've all been there), and suddenly you're struck by an urge to learn how to knit those adorable little hats. But where do you go? Do you abandon your feline friends? Absolutely not! That's where the magic of Split View on iPad comes in, allowing you to be the ultimate multitasker, the king or queen of the internet jungle!
Splitting Safari: Easier Than Wrangling a Hairless Cat (Probably)
Here's the deal: splitting Safari is surprisingly easy, even if your technological prowess is more "dial-up" than "download." There are a couple of ways to achieve this browser bonanza, so buckle up and get ready to be amazed (or at least mildly impressed).
Method 1: Drag That Link Like a Boss
- Set Your Sights: Find that oh-so-important link that simply must be viewed alongside your current masterpiece (be it cat videos or actual work, no judgment here).
- The Great Drag: Hold your finger down on the link. Yes, a virtual tug-of-war is about to commence!
- To the Edge We Go: With the link firmly in your grasp (well, virtually), drag it all the way to the left or right side of your iPad screen. Don't let go!
- Split Screen Surprise!: Voila! Like magic (or maybe just good engineering), your screen splits in two, revealing your original website and the new link in glorious side-by-side fashion.
Method 2: The Multitasking Mastermind
Feeling fancy? This method involves the Multitasking button, that little diamond in the rough at the top of your screen.
- The Multitasking Maestro: Tap the Multitasking button.
- Split Decision: From the menu, choose Split View. This is where the fun begins!
- Safari Sibling: You'll see a selection of your recently used apps. Since we're on a Safari adventure, tap the Safari icon.
And just like that, you've got two separate Safari windows gracing your iPad screen. Now you can browse to your heart's content, comparing cat memes with frightening efficiency.
Bonus Tip: Feeling lopsided? Don't worry! Drag the black divider in the middle to adjust how much space each window gets. Just like Goldilocks and the porridge, find the size that's juuuust right!
So there you have it, folks! Splitting Safari is a breeze, opening up a world of multitasking possibilities. Now go forth and conquer the internet, two websites at a time!
