View an app’s open windows and workspaces

In many iPad apps—including Mail, Notes, Safari, and Files—you can have multiple windows open. You can view all the open windows for an app, including those in Split View and Slide Over.

View an app’s open windows

  1. Do any of the following:

    • Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen to reveal the Dock.

    • Go to the Home Screen.

  2. Touch and hold the app whose windows you want to view, then tap Show All Windows.

    Note: If you touch and hold an app for too long, all of the apps begin to jiggle. Tap Done or press the Home button (on an iPad with a Home button), then try again.

The open windows in some apps appear as thumbnails near the bottom of the screen. When you tap a thumbnail, its contents appear in the current full-screen window. When viewing apps in Split View, tap the Multitasking Controls button at the top of an open app to view all its open windows.

Create new windows in an app

When all of an app’s open windows appear as thumbnails (near the bottom of the screen), you see the New Window button. Tap it to create a new window in the app. In Split View, tap the Multitasking Controls button to display the app’s open windows as thumbnails, then tap the New Window button.
