-
Open the App You Want to Keep Front and Center: This is your main squeeze, your Beyonce to your Destiny's Child.
-
Activate the Magic of the Dock: Slide your finger up from the bottom of the screen like you're summoning the Bat-Signal (but for multitasking, not justice).
-

-
Drag and Conquer!: With the second app held hostage by your courageous finger, drag it all the way to the left or right edge of the screen. Poof! Split Screen magic happens.
Pro Tip: Feeling fancy? You can also use Spotlight (swipe down on the home screen) to search for your second app and then repeat step 4.
