How to Split Screen on Mac (Tahoe/Sequoia/Sonoma)

If you want to use multiple apps side-by-side for multitasking on your Mac/MacBook, follow the steps below to split your screen easily.

How to Split Screen on Mac (Tahoe/Sequoia/Sonoma) – 2 Ways

Method 1. Use the “Split View” Feature on Mac

Mac offers a “Split View” feature that allows you to use two windows side-by-side. This feature works in full-screen mode, hiding the Dock and Menu Bar unless you hover your mouse at the top or bottom. Here’s how to use Split View:

1. Open the two apps you want to use side-by-side.
2. Hover your mouse over the full-screen button at the top-left corner of one window. Three split-screen options will appear.
3. Select Tile Window to Left of Screen or Tile Window to Right of Screen. The selected window will enter full-screen mode on the chosen side, and the other open windows will appear on the opposite side. Click a window to tile it on the other side.
4. Use the vertical line between the two windows to adjust each window’s size.

Method 2. Use Mission Control to Split Screen on Mac

1. Open the two windows you want to use.
2. Press the Mission Control key (F3) or open the Mission Control app via Spotlight.
3. Drag one window to the top of the screen to create a new desktop space.
4. Drag the other window onto the first window. Both windows will open in split view.
5. Adjust the size of each window by clicking and dragging the vertical bar between them.

How to Exit Split Screen on Mac

To exit Split View, press the Esc key or click the green button at the top-left corner of one window. The other window will switch to full-screen mode. You can also use the Control + Command + F shortcut to exit full screen on Mac.
