Mobile multi– tasking

One huge advantage that a MacBook has is the ability to truly run multiple apps and processes at the same time, and to do so in a way that feels natural and simply right. The iPad has always struggled to match macOS in this area, but it is improving. This remains, however, a definite win for the MacBook.

ALL IN ONE

You can use each app that is displayed in part of the iPad screen as normal — for example, opening multiple tabs in Safari, and the process is managed by grabbing an icon from the Dock and pulling it upwards.

TWO APPS WORK For true productivity two apps side by side work best, because you can use them as you would normally with very few visual restrictions. This could become a standard setup for you in the future.

THE THIRD APP

With two apps running side by side you can bring up a third from the Dock and use it in a mini window on the left or right of the screen. It is a clever solution, but it still falls behind macOS in terms of productivity.

A FOURTH APP

Even with three apps running on the iPad screen, you still have access to a fourth app by bringing up the Dock and holding on an icon. You will see various actions available that you can take immediately.
