With the number of apps available to simplify every possible function, it is imperative that you have access to several apps at the same time. It's now possible with Split View. Two chosen apps automatically adjust on two sides of the screen. You can find a theatre using Maps, jot down an important reminder in Messages, or compile a document while conducting research using Safari. Other apps are still available, but the cumbersome task of manually resizing apps is no longer a bother. You have full control from within the operating system.
Swipe messages from inside your e-mail inbox. View them on a full screen. You can set a calendar event or add a new contact from within your inbox with just one click.

If you use the swipe gesture to the left, a message gets deleted; swipe to the right and the message is highlighted as read or unread.

For instance, to easily locate a PDF or any other document made on a specific day, simply type in PDF I made on (specify day). Expand, reduce, or move the Spotlight window for convenience.
