Working on an iPad is a unique beast. Many features and workflows are quite different on Apple\u2019s slab o\u2019 glass, but they can also open up a variety of new possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the more recent additions to iPadOS is the ability to open multiple \u2018windows\u2019 of an app, and use them alongside other apps. In Bear\u2019s case, this means you could edit one Bear note while doing research in Safari, and a different Bear note while chatting with a friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are some simple tricks to learn for working like this on an iPad, so let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a couple ways to do this, but we\u2019ll introduce you to one of the easiest. To set the scene, let\u2019s say you\u2019re researching a new purchase by using Safari and Bear together in Split View. Then, a friend texts you about taking a post-pandemic friendcation, and you want to brainstorm some ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, make sure Safari, Bear, and your messaging app are in your iPad\u2019s dock. We\u2019ll use Telegram for our example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
