If you’re using macOS Mojave, you have access to some awesome modern multitasking capabilities with Split View. Building off the previously released full-screen feature, Split View moves two. Hopefully something like this becomes a standard Mac feature. I like the split screen feature, but sometimes I want/need more than two screens. I found a pretty good solution on the Apps store that will let you have split screen, one window half/two in quarters, or 4 windows is quarters. It is called Magnet.

  2. To use Split View first you must tap and hold the green button to the top let of the window belonging to the first application you want to access in Split view. The screen will split in two, one half will be greyed out while the active window you are in will appear normal, but smaller.

With the release of MacOS El Capitan back in 2015, MacOS gained the ability to enter into split screen mode. That is, you can have two apps running next to each other side-by-side on your screen. It is a great way to multitask between two apps you are having to work with at the same time.

I’m a heavy use of Split Screen and there is a quick and easy way to enter into the mode. The most common way to enter into this viewing mode is to open up the multitasking screen in MacOS then drag the window to an existing desktop to split them on that same screen. It works, but there is a quicker way. In this How To, I’ll show you so you can get into Split Screen mode a lot faster.

First, make sure you have any apps open on your MacBook displaying as windows. This trick won’t work if you are viewing them in full screen mode.

On one of your windows, press and hold the green full screen button at the top of the window. After a couple of seconds, your screen will morph with the window you have selected being moved to the left side of your display while other apps you have open are shown on the right side.

Now select the second app you want to open in split screen view and it will take over the right side of your display as you would expect for using this viewing mode.

That’s it! Now you can use split screen view as you normally do on your Mac. You just got there a lot quicker.

Split View lets you use two apps on the Mac screen at the same time. Both windows occupy two sides of the screen and make it easy to multitask. The steps for this slightly differ in macOS Catalina and above as compared to old versions. In this complete guide, let me show you how to enter Split Screen mode, how to use it, how to exit it, and more.

Note: The following steps to enable and use Split View works on all MacBook Pro, Air, iMac, iMac Pro, Mac Mini, Mac Pro, and other Macs that run OS X El Capitan or later.

How to Turn ON Split Screen on Mac in macOS Catalina and Big Sur

  1. Make sure at least two supported apps or two windows of the same app (like two Chrome windows) are open.
  2. Place the mouse/trackpad pointer on the green full-screen button in the upper-left of an app window.
  3. Click on Tile Window to Left of Screen or Tile Window to Right of Screen. The current app will occupy one side of the Mac screen.
  4. Click on an app from the other side. It will occupy the remaining space. Now you have two apps side by side in Split View, taking the full Mac screen.

Notes

  • Unable to enter Split view using the steps shown in this article? Click on the Apple Logo → System Preferences → Mission Control → Check the box for ‘Displays have separate Spaces.’
  • Some apps like VLC can not be used in Split Screen mode.

How to Enable Split Screen on macOS Mojave or Earlier

  1. Open two apps or windows on your Mac.
  2. Place the pointer on the green full-screen button and hold for a second or two. The window will shrink and occupy the left portion of the screen. Leave the hold.
  3. Choose another window from the right side to open both apps in Split View.

How to Turn ON Split Screen Using Mission Control

You can enter Split View using Mission Control. Here is how.

  1. Click on the green button for an app to launch it in full screen.
  2. Open Mission Control. There are several ways to do this.
    • Press the Mission Control key from the keyboard or Touch Bar.
    • Swipe up with three or four fingers on the trackpad.
    • Launch Mission Control from the Launchpad or Applications folder.
    • Double-tap the surface of your Magic Mouse with two fingers.
  3. Drag one of the app windows on the thumbnail of the full-screen app. Both apps will open side by side in Split Screen mode. Click on the Split View thumbnail to use them together.

Pro Tip: Have two apps, both in full-screen mode? Launch Mission Control and horizontally drag one over other to enter Split Screen.

Once you have apps open together on Split View, here is how to use them efficiently according to your needs.

How to Use Two Mac Apps Side by Side in Split View

Click anywhere on one app to use it. Click on other side to use that app. You can scroll the page/contents of either window by taking the pointer over them; without the need to click.

How to Resize Windows in Split View

Place the pointer anywhere on the vertical line between the two windows. Drag left or right to adjust the window size. Some apps like Pages might not allow you to decrease their size in Split Screen mode. You can, however, increase it.

How to Swap Window Positions in Split View

Drag one window to the other side to switch it from left to right or vice versa. For this, place the pointer anywhere in the topmost area of the app window and drag it horizontally to the other side.

How to Show the Menu Bar in Split View

Move your mouse pointer to the top of the screen to see the menus for that app. Click on the other app in Split View and take the pointer to the top of the screen to see its menus.

How to Show the Dock in Split View

Take your mouse pointer to the bottom (or left or right, if that’s where your Dock usually sits). Click on an app from the Dock to open it in a new Space (Desktop).

How to Switch to Other Apps or your Desktop while in Split Screen

Split Mode always opens in a new Space (Desktop). You can see other apps or the original desktop by swiping left or right using three or four fingers on the trackpad. You may also press Control + left or right arrow key. Or, use Mission Control.

How to Exit Split Screen

  1. Take the pointer to the upper-left of a window to see the three buttons (close, minimize, full screen).
  2. Click on the green full-screen button. That app window will exit the Split View and open in a separate Space in its normal size. The other app window, which was part of Split View, will enter full-screen mode.
  3. Or, click on the red button. This will close that app window. The other app will enter full-screen mode.

How to Use Window Snapping on Mac

Window Snapping lets you place apps side by side without entering Split View. As a result, this keeps the top menu bar and Dock visible.

To use effortless Window Snapping, make sure your Mac runs macOS Catalina or above. Place the pointer on the green full-screen button. Next, press the option key. Finally, choose Move Window to Left Side of Screen or Move Window to Right Side of Screen.

Repeat this for other app window. Now both windows take half the screen. Dock and menu bar are also visible.

On earlier Macs, you can do this manually by placing the pointer on the edge of a window and resizing it.

If you want even better controls than what macOS offers, try third-party tools like Magnet.

Wrapping Up…

This is almost all that you need to know to get started with Split View on Mac. In several situations, like making reports, writing articles, or copying media from one drive to another, using two Mac apps side by side becomes handy.

You can also enjoy Split Screen on iPad Air 2 and above. Since iPhone screen sizes are also getting bigger with each version, it would be interesting to use two or more apps at a time (like Android phones)! As of now, you are limited to Picture in Picture mode on iPhone running iOS 14!
