Split screen used to work perfectly, until I updated my M2 MacBook Air to Ventura. Safari & Photos "are not compatible" for split screen? I've enabled 'separate spaces' on the display settings. Is there something else I'm not finding after hours of Googling and trying different things? I'm still unable to use a split screen for these 2 applications. Any advice is most appreciated.
MacBook Air 11″, macOS 10.12
Interesting as I can Split Screen Photos and Safari without the need for Separate Spaces
The Green icon in Top Left of either of the two applications Photos and Safari
Choose Tile Left or Right - your choice

Split View of Safari and Photos Applications
What exactly happens when you try? Are you pressing and holding the green button on a Safari window, choosing to put it on one side, and then what? Do you Photos open but thr Photos window is not offered among the choices for the other half of the screen?
Thank you Luis, I appreciate your fast response.
For example, I open both Safari and Photos. Click on the green button in Safari and tile it to right or left. And then try to click on Photos, but get a circle with a slash, saying not available in Split View. (Same thing happens with Messages, Power Point, etc)
When I try, I get a pop up message saying the windows are not compatible. Or that there are no available windows.The settings are all properly configured.
I've been using this on previous OS and it worked beautifully. I did find that if using Chrome, and not Safari, I can split the screen with Photos or other programs with no problem.
I can't drag & drop a photo into Messages, or email, or from Safari into PPT
I can't have 2 applications open on the screen. It's very frustrating.
Clearly the answer is to switch to Chrome, but I prefer Safari for a variety of reasons.
Thank you for any help you can offer.
Right! Exactly! That's what I'm so accustomed to! But cannot get this to work on this machine. It's still under warranty, so if necessary, I'll contact tech support. Any helpful hints? I've been using split screen for so long. Right now I can't even get 2 screens up. They disappear into stage manager, whether it's enable or not.
Seems to work here…
Turning off Stage Manager, logging out, restarting, & logging back in allows open windows on the screen. However, split screen still doesn't work.
