With iOS 9, Apple introduces the iPad to split-screen multitasking. Also called Slide Over, this new function is supported by the iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 2, and iPad mini 3 and later. Located on the right edge of the screen and designed to run multiple apps, Slide Over allows you view another app without leaving the one you're in; however, the two applications won't run together side by side unless you have an iPad Air 2 or later.
To turn on this function, open Settings.
Select General; tap Multitasking.
Turn on, Allow Multiple Apps.
Swipe left from the right edge to open the Slide Over.
