YouTube app gets a significant update on iOS for iPad users. The video streaming app gets Slide Over and Split View support. As a refresher, SlideOver lets you check an app briefly by sliding it onto the screen, while Split View lets you run two apps side-by-side. Of course the usual caveats apply with Slide Over works with Apple tablets that extend as far back as the original iPad Air and iPad mini 2. Meanwhile, Split View works with the iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4, and both iPad Pro models. Unfortunately, Google didn’t implement iOS 9’s Picture in Picture feature so you won’t be able to watch YouTube videos while using another app or while you’re on the iPad home screen.
