Is there a way to stop Safari from opening side windows on my iPad? I use chrome as my browser. If I touch a link in any other app. It opens a safari window on half my screen if I touch a link. The only way to close it is to double click the home button and closing program. Any ideas? Thanks.
iPad Pro 9.7-inch WiFi, Cellular
You have clearly managed to enable a Safari Slide Over view - this being a major multitasking feature of iPadOS, fully detailed in the iPad User Guide for iPadOS. Links to the User Guide are included towards the end of this reply.
To transform a Slide Over view, to Split Screen, use the grey drag-bar at the top of the Slide Over Window; drag downwards and to towards the side of the screen. As the view changes, lift your finger. Done.
It’s also worth noting that you can easily change a Slide Over to Full Screen view in a similar way. This time, using the same drag-bar, drag to the top-centre of the screen, then release.
