How this app behaves on Duo
Notes on iPhone Duo keeps the note on one half of the inner display in Split View while another app occupies the other, and its chrome follows whichever outer edge the app sits on. When Notes is on the right, navigation and toolbar sit on the right; move it left, and those controls follow the new outer edge so they stay in thumb reach.
Copyable developer patterns
01
Vertical bars follow the Split View outer edgeNotes chrome is not glued to a physical left or right bezel. When the app swaps halves, navigation and toolbar follow the new outer edge.
02
Size-class half of the inner displayIn Split View, Notes owns one regular-or-compact column, not the full inner canvas. Read size class for the scene you actually received.
03
Leading means the app edge, not the phone’s leftIf you pin bar items to leading as “device left,” they sit in the fold when the user swaps your app to the other half. Use layout margins and horizontal safe-area insets.
FAQ
How does Notes work on iPhone Duo?
Notes on iPhone Duo keeps the note on one half of the inner display in Split View, and its chrome follows whichever outer edge the app sits on. Controls move with the app, not with a physical left or right bezel.
Where do Notes vertical bars sit in Split View?
Vertical bars follow Notes’ outer edge in Split View. On the right half they sit on the right; on the left half they follow the new outer edge so they stay in thumb reach.
Can Notes pin toolbar items to the phone’s left edge?
No. Pinning to a hardcoded device edge puts controls in the fold when Notes swaps halves. Leading and trailing have to mean the app’s edge, via layout margins and safe-area insets.
