let's start here on my iPad and what I'm
going to do first is double tap on the
home button and you'll see our new task
switcher of course often when I'm in an
app like Safari I then I just want to
quickly check my messages so now with
just a single finger swipe from the side
I can slide it right in with what we
call slide over and of course it's fully
interactive right here I can take a look
maybe type of response put it right back
I'm back in Safari you do that again now
from the top I can pull down and bring
in other applications select spring and
calendar course fully interactive so I
can tap into another day let's bring in
another app I'm going to bring in the
new notes app just like that now
sometimes of course I want to stay
working in notes and Safari both at the
same time so i can just tap here on the
divider and now i'm in split view
they're both completely active in fact
for the first time ever multi app
multi-touch i can move them both at the
same time notes is actually pinned to
the side now so i want to show you what
happens when i switch apps i'm just
going to move over here to photos and
you notice now I have photos with notes
on the side this is really great if I'm
taking notes while working across a
bunch of different experiences and of
course those four finger gestures
continue to work great so I can just
swipe my way right back into safari like
that I can follow links of course for my
note so let me just tap on this link and
you see Safari loads it right here on
the side now I can adjust this split so
let me just move that over to a nice
5050 view I'm able to just stay focus
right here in these two apps side by
side
