iPad Multitasking

Bria has multitasking support for iPads – you can view both Bria and another app at the same time. iOS 11 has two ways you can view multiple apps – Slide Over and Split View.

When you use two apps in Slide Over, one app sits on top of the other and blocks part of the content. You can move the app in Slide Over to either side of the screen but it always covers a portion of the app underneath.

When you use two apps in Split View, both apps adjust in size and run side-by-side. You can adjust the size of the apps – Split View supports both apps being equal in size, or a 25/75 split.

To use Slide Over or Split View, make sure iOS Settings > General > Multitasking & Dock > Allow Multiple Apps is turned on.
