Multitasking is a feature that Apple often highlights in its iPad. For multitasking purposes, the iPad has a number of functions, one of which is Split View. This feature allows you to work in two applications side by side. To activate the Split View function, first open any application. Then swipe up from the bottom of the screen to activate the Dock, long-press the other app icon and drag it to the side of the screen.

Tuned Dock
The iPadOS operating system offers a number of options when it comes to working with the Dock. For example, in Settings -> Desktop and Dock, you can set recommended and recently used applications to appear in the Dock. What's more, the Dock on your iPad can hold more app and folder icons than the iPhone, so you can fully customize it to suit you. You place the icon in the Dock by simply dragging it, and you can remove it from the Dock in the same way.

Write notes from the lock screen
If you also use Apple Pencil with your iPad and often work in native Notes, you can activate a feature on your Apple tablet that will automatically open Notes when you tap the Apple Pencil on the iPad's lock screen, while keeping the rest of your iPad content safe. To activate this feature, go to Settings -> Notes and tap Lock Screen Access at the very bottom. After that, all you have to do is choose what action will happen when you tap the Apple Pencil.

You can turn these off in Settings -> Siri and search, where you disable Search suggestions.
