iPhone Duo multitasking: Split View explained
Two apps, two windows, or two panes? Start with the difference.
THE FIELD NOTES
Practical iPhone Duo guides, from choosing an app to checking how it behaves. Read the answer first, follow the source, then try a clear task.
Two apps, two windows, or two panes? Start with the difference.
Compatible, adapted and actually tested are different claims.
Start with a task that needs two things in view.
Empty space can preserve the picture. Here is how to tell.
A small, repeatable test says more than a “works great” badge.
Review the assumptions that break when an iPhone can resize.
Start with the screen you have, the video you want, and a check you can actually repeat.
Apple documents the resize across poses. It says nothing about what your app remembers.
The smaller screen runs apps. It does not create windows.
Apple gives a rule for same-app windows, not a list. Here is how to apply it.
