iPadOS allows you to arrange or group multiple safari tabs, for easy and faster surfing, and there are two ways to do so.

2 Ways to Open Safari Tab in Multi Window on iPadOS

If you want to open a safari tab in a multiwindow tab, then can do so by following these steps:

Method 1:

  • Open Safari on your iPad, open multiple tabs
  • Long press and drag the tab (to the right or left) you want to move to multi-window

If for some reason, this method doesn’t work, as generally, Safari does experience random glitches, then you use the second method to open multiple tabs in different windows.

Method 2:

  • Open Safari on Your iPad.
  • Tap the Multitasking button at the top of the screen.
  • Tap the Split View button or the Slide Over button. The current app moves aside and your Home Screen appears.
  • Tap on the Safari app on your Home Screen.
    • If you chose Split View, the second app appears side-by-side with the current app.
    • If you chose Slide Over, the second app opens full-screen and the current app moves to a smaller window that you can move to the right or left side of your screen.

Note: Method 2 works with any app combination on your iPad.
