The Slide Over feature on an iPad is best described as a unique picture-in-picture feature. While you’re browsing through your photos or researching something on Safari, you can open a mini window that slides in front of the main app you’re using — hence, the title of Slide Over.
Only some apps can be opened as a Slide Over window. Common apps that make use of this feature include Spotify, Messages, Mail, Calendar, Notes, and Clock. That’s certainly not an exhaustive list of every app that’s supported as a Slide Over window, but it’s a good starting list to try out the feature.
Your iPad will keep track of the apps you most frequently use as Slide Over windows, so you can swipe between them easily once you’ve opened one. For example, if you frequently use Spotify and your Clock in a Slide Over window, you’ll eventually be able to swipe to the left or right at the bottom edge of your Slide Over window to quickly switch between Spotify and the Clock app. Users on older iPads will need to swipe with a slight arc at the bottom edge.
The easiest way to open a Slide Over window is to drag and drop an app from your Dock. When you’re in an app, slowly slide up from the bottom edge of your screen to access your Dock. Tap and hold the app you want, and drag it close to the right or left edge of your screen. If you drag it too far, you’ll enact the Split View feature instead of Slide Over.
