I consider multitasking a discrete part of the OS, not Liquid Glass. i do have some thoughts on it though

for what it's worth there are gestures they don't tell you that make the multitasking so much easier: toggle maximization by tapping the top of the window, and then as they mention you can snap it to either side by smashing the window in a direction

also they added back drag and drop to Split View in iPadOS 26.2. after three months they finally have a stable release of this multitasking thing

I have found multitasking useful especially with stage manager, but I completely understand those who don’t like it and just want an option to restore the old multitasking. I also miss Quick Notes (workaround through a shortcut button just isn’t the same)

    Thank you. I had no idea they half-fixed it in 26.2. They half-arsed the slide-over thing in 26.1, but having to manage the side-by-side and whatnot by long-pressing the traffic lights and selecting a menu item just felt like arse. It took a decent amount of fucking around but I think I finally understand how this new system works.

    Still not super fond of it and would prefer the old split-screen system, but it's much better than not having it at all. I don't get why they need to waste so much screen real-estate with this new design. Everything is so big and clunky.
