If you own an iPad and wish to boost your productivity by having dual screens, you’re in luck! With the latest iPadOS update, Apple introduced a highly anticipated feature called “iPadOS Sidecar” which allows users to extend their workspace by connecting their iPad to a Mac or MacBook. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll walk you through the process of setting up dual screens on your iPad.

Requirements:

  • An iPad running on iPadOS 13.4 or later
  • A compatible Mac or MacBook running on macOS Catalina 10.15.4 or later
  • A Lightning or USB-C cable (depending on the iPad model)

Step 1: Check Compatibility

The first thing you need to do is make sure that your iPad and Mac or MacBook meet the compatibility requirements. Your iPad needs to be running on iPadOS 13.4 or later, while your Mac or MacBook needs to be running on macOS Catalina 10.15.4 or later. If you meet these requirements, move on to the next step.

Step 2: Connect Your Devices

To enable dual screens, you need to physically connect your iPad to your Mac or MacBook using a Lightning or USB-C cable. Simply plug one end of the cable into your iPad and the other end into a USB-C port on your Mac or MacBook. Make sure the cable is properly connected and wait for both devices to recognize each other.

Step 3: Enable Sidecar

Once connected, go to your Mac or MacBook and click the AirPlay icon on the menu bar. You’ll see a list of available devices to connect to. Look for your iPad and click on it to establish the connection. Alternatively, you can enable Sidecar by going to System Preferences on your Mac, selecting the Sidecar preferences, and choosing your iPad from the list of devices.

Step 4: Customize Sidecar Settings (optional)

With Sidecar active, you can further customize the settings to enhance your dual screen experience. Click on the AirPlay icon on your Mac’s menu bar, then select your iPad. Here, you can choose to have your iPad display as a separate space or an extension of your Mac’s screen. You can also adjust brightness and volume settings directly from your Mac.

Step 5: Enjoy Dual Screens

Once you’ve completed the previous steps, your iPad will now serve as a secondary display for your Mac or MacBook. You can drag windows and apps between the two screens, effectively expanding your workspace and increasing productivity. Enjoy the convenience of having dual screens on your iPad!

By following these simple steps, you can easily set up dual screens on your iPad using the Sidecar feature. Whether you’re a creative professional looking to enhance your workflow or a multitasker who needs more screen real estate, dual screens on your iPad can be a game-changer. Try it out and experience the benefits for yourself!
