Video Showing How Apple's Unfinished Split Screen iPad Multitasking WorksA

https://twitter.com/stroughtonsmith/status/476904055495991296">Steven Troughton-Smith[/url] has emerged on YouTube, showing off the activation of hidden code for split screen multitasking in the iOS 8 beta. The feature is shown off in the iOS simulator on Mac, hence the mouse cursor, awkward two-finger gestures and its rough overall look.

The feature was
first rumored in March for introduction in iOS 8, but was pulled because it was
not ready in time for WWDC. However, it was
discovered just a couple of days ago that iOS 8's internal SpringBoard includes code that allows apps to run side-by-side.
In the video, the three sizes are shown (1/3, 1/2 and 3/4) when using two fingers to scroll to the side. However, it's not evident how to open a second app next to the already opened app, likely because the feature is still being developed.
<span style="color: #041427;">Split-screen multitasking may initially be limited to the iPad Air, with support for smaller devices, like the iPad Mini and rumored 5.5-inch iPhone 6, at a later date. The feature could also make it to Apple's rumored 12.9-inch "iPad Pro" that may or may not be in development.</span>
