With one finger, tap and hold on the link or tab so it enlarges. Then follow one of the steps below:
*'''Side-by-side view:''' Simply drag that link or tab to the other app. If you're not on side-by-side view, continue with the steps below:
*'''Single app view''':
#Use another finger to bring up the dock (swipe up from the middle) or app switcher.
#Drag the link onto the other app until the other app pulses.
#Release the link and the other app will open and load that link.
