Part 1: What Does Split Screen in Safari Mean?

The Safari browser is a multi-tasking tool for business owners or anyone who loves productivity. When you turn on the split-screen mode, the browser will be divided into two separate windows.

Each window will then act as an individual browser with its own bookmarks, links, URLs, and tabs. These split-screen windows will work independently of each other and help users who want to be more productive.

For example, one can open split screen, open YouTube on one window, and practice it on the second window whatever you’re learning on YouTube. It will help the users concentrate more.

Extra Tip: How to Fix iPad Touch Screen Not Working Properly?

Your iPad can encounter certain issues and troubles when you jailbreak it or update your iOS device to the latest iOS version. Sometimes, a reboot can fix the issue, or putting your iPad in recovery mode can delete such glitches. However, some iOS bugs are pretty contagious, and they wouldn’t go away quickly.

A similar example is when your iPad’s touch screen gets stuck or isn’t working correctly. A simple reboot would not solve the touch screen glitch. For that, you have to use Tenorshare ReiBoot, which is a trusted software. ReiBoot offers two types of iOS repair modes.  You can choose Standard repair or Deep repair. This stuck screen glitch isn’t severe, so a Standard repair by ReiBoot will do the job. Follow the steps:

• Run the ReiBoot tool on your PC after downloading it. Connect your iPad to the PC and trust the PC. Once the PC recognizes your iPad, click “Start” on ReiBoot to use the iOS System Recovery tool.

  

• ReiBoot will show a list of issues. You will choose the Screen Stuck option. You can also tap on the Device Bug option, which will display a list of fixes. Select the “Standard Repair” option and move further.

  

• ReiBoot will ask the user to download the latest firmware version. The file would be 5GB large so click on “Download” to start downloading and choose a location where space is available. If you already have the latest firmware package on your PC, you can choose the import package option.

  

• Once the package is downloaded or imported, click on “Start Standard Repair” to start the system recovery. Wait a while, and your iPad will reboot after recovery. Your device will be good as new.
