The Great Escape: Exiting Split Screen

Here's how to break free from the shackles of split screen and reclaim your iPad dominion:

  1. Spot the Spy: Look for the tiny villain in this story - the black divider bar nestled between your captive apps. It might be playing innocent, but it's the key to your freedom.

  2. Drag and Drop Mission: This isn't kindergarten playtime, but with a determined finger, you must drag the divider bar all the way to the left or right side of the screen. Choose your side wisely - dragging it to the left ditches the app on the right, and vice versa (think of it as a digital eviction notice).

Congratulations! You've single-handedly outsmarted the system and returned your iPad to single-app glory.

But Wait, There's More! (Optional Maneuvers)

For those seeking advanced split-screen wrangling techniques, here are some bonus tips:

  • The Three-Dot Doomsday Device: Each split-screen app has a tiny three-dot button lurking in the top corner. Tap this button to unleash a menu of options, including the ever-important "Close" function. Just a tap, and the app scurries away, defeated.

  • The Full-Screen Frenzy: Feeling the need for maximum app real estate? Tap the three-dot button again (yes, it's a multi-purpose tool!), but this time, select "Full Screen." This throws the other app out the digital window (metaphorically speaking, of course).
