Slide Over

What This Does

Opens a second app in a floating window that sits on top of your current app.

Why It's Useful

When you need a quick glance at Messages or a calculator without leaving your main app, Slide Over gives you a temporary overlay. It is lighter than Split View and perfect for brief side tasks.

How to Do It

  1. Open the app you want as your main workspace
  2. Tap the three dots at the top center and choose the Slide Over icon (a rectangle with a smaller rectangle on top)
  3. Pick the second app from the Home Screen or Dock
  4. The second app appears as a floating panel you can drag to either side

Try This Now

Open Safari as your main app, then open Messages in Slide Over. Read a webpage while keeping Messages visible in the floating panel. Swipe the panel off-screen to dismiss it.

Mental Hook: Float an app on top.
