Then, users require to move their finger for revealing the dock.
Check that it comprises of every application that you docked to it. And few most recently used applications.
After that, move any of the given application on the screen.
Note that, if you swipe for longer while opening the dock, resulting in opening the ‘task manager’. Fortunately, you shall be able to do multitasking with this screen. Rather than trying to move the application symbol at the mid of the display, move it to the application window and continue pressing on the display till that application window develops to full-screen mode.
Observe that applications that support multitasking shall be shown by rectangular shape around them. You need to check whether application symbol has a square shape window or not. If it has square one, then it will not allow the multitasking and will get started in full-screen mode.

Are you unable to find the application that you want to use on the dock?

You can close the present application by pressing the Home Button and work on the application that you would prefer.
Then, do these steps one more time.
Look that the application you earlier opened shall get displayed towards the right side of the dock as one of the recently visited applications.

Note: if you often use split-screen view with a specific application, prefer adding them to the dock for availing it fast.

Whenever you put the new application on display, it shall look like a floating window at one side of your iPad.

Next, the window can be dragged to the left or right according to your preference by your finger. It will make it simple to place it for using a full-screen application.
