How to Use Full Screen Split View on macOS Tahoe

[Split View on MacOS Tahoe in Full Screen]
Split View is a useful feature in MacOS that lets you split the screen between two different apps or app windows, in complete full screen mode. Split View is appreciated by many users who find it to boost productivity and focus, particularly if they already enjoy and appreciate full screen app mode on the Mac. Split View remains a feature in MacOS Tahoe but it’s used in a slightly different way, and you could easily miss the nuance of the feature.
The main thing to remember is that unlike the original Split View implementation releases, you now have to go into a sub menu to access Full Screen Split View
How to Enter and Use Split View in Full Screen on macOS Tahoe
Full SCreen Split View is quite popular but it’s accessed slightly different with Tahoe, here’s how it works:
- Open whatever apps/windows you want to use
- Click and hold on the Green button in the title bar to bring up the window options
- Go to “Full Screen” submenu and choose “Left of Screen” or “Right of Screen”

Resizing Split View Panels
You can resize either the left or right split view panel using the slider button in the middle of the screen:

Exiting Full Screen Split View
To exit Split Screen Mode in Full Screen, simply pull the cursor to the top of the screen and access the Green buttons again, or press and hold the Escape key (for apps like Chrome etc you must hold Esc ).
Troubleshooting
Some users have reported that Stage Manager can cause some issues with Split View, so if you use Stage Manager you might want to be mindful of that or turn the feature off.
Occasionally you may run into an app that does not support Split View at all, or that does not properly support Split View. While there’s no universal tip to solve that issue (other than perhaps not trying to use the app in Split View), you can always try updating the app from the developer and then trying again, it’s always possible a bug fix was released to fix any specific issue with Split View. The same goes for MacOS; be sure to install any available system software updates.
Split View versus Window Tiling
Modern macOS Versions allow the use of Split View in either Full Screen mode, as discussed here, or even just two windows perfectly sized to be side-by-side. Alternatively, you can also have even more windows on screen with another feature called Window Tiling, which allows you to split the screen between four apps or more, instead of two, and in horizontal or vertical orientations.

As you can see, Split View in Full Screen mode works well in MacOS Tahoe, even if it’s accessed and utilized slightly differently. A handy multitasking feature, a fantastic way to focus on two things at once, and a pleasant way to use two apps concurrently in a side-by-side workspace, be sure to try out Split View if you have not done so yet on your Mac.

In step 2 of “How to Enter and Use Split View in Full Screen on macOS Tahoe” you mention holding on the green button. More simply one can hover over the green button to reveal the window options.

The setting “Displays have separate Spaces” does not have to be enabled for this to work. But it does have to be enabled for Window Tiling to work.
