Stage Manager shows its potential with two displays, where you’re able to have a total of eight apps on the screens (four on iPad, four on the other display). This helps declutter the screen and keeps you focused on whatever is immediately in front of you. For example, Chrome and Safari go into one folder and Gmail and Mail go into another. You can only have up to four active apps on the screen at once, with all other apps getting placed on the left-hand side, with similar apps going into folders. On iPad, you can easily enable/disable Stage Manager from Control Center.

You’ll see this button along the top of the screen and tapping it opens up a section of the page containing a couple of large boxes with buttons between them. Tapping the arrow at the bottom of each column will also switch on all of those squares at the same time.Īnother fun feature is FX. GarageBand will begin each one on the correct beat, so you can’t really make any mistakes. Now just tap each square to stop or start the playback, adding others whenever you please.
