Here's something you probably know (or maybe don't know): Amazon's Prime Day doesn't officially support deals on sexual health and wellness products. You won't see them advertised on the homepage. But that doesn't mean the deals don't exist. If you know where to look, you can still snag some "Prime Day-esque" deals on tons of great toys.

Now, I'm a stickler for this stuff. I usually advise against buying sex toys on Amazon due to issues with counterfeits and questionable third-party sellers. But for the final hours of Prime Day, I'm making an exception for Satisfyer. It's a legit brand with a real legacy, especially when it comes to its suction toys.Because of Amazon's category restrictions, you won't see a big "SALE" banner on Satisfyer's product pages. Instead, the brand is offering exclusive discount codes and other promotions that run through Oct. 11. Best Satisfyer deal overall

Why we like it The Satisfyer Pro 2 is designed specifically for people who prefer clitoral stimulation over penetration, using what the brand calls "Airpulse technology" to create touch-free pressure waves. So there's nothing actually touching your clitoris — it's just light, little puffs of air. (There are 11 pressure settings that can get intense quick!) With over 59,000 reviews on Amazon, the Pro 2 is a true cult classic. It's not my personal favorite (I own it in rose gold and blue; and it gets me there, but I have other toys in my arsenal that I prefer over this one), but I'm not here to yuck anyone's yum — and the sheer volume of glowing, and some totally hilarious, reviews speaks for itself. Seriously, if you need a laugh, go read them. Now through Oct. 11, you can use the code FALLPRIME20 to get 20% off and find out what all the hype is about.More Satisfyer deals to have on your radar Get 20% off with the code FALLPRIME20:Pro 2 Naughty KissPerfect KissPro 2 Gen 3 App Control Partner Box 1Pro 2 Gen 3 App Control Planet Wand-er Sexy SecretShiny PetalSpot On 3 Get 25% off with the code FALLPRIME25: Pro 2 Gen 3 Spinning Rabbit 1 Love Riot Sweet Seal 59% off applied at checkout:Rotator Plug 1+ 57% off: applied at checkout:Intensity Plug 54% off applied at checkout: Pro 2+ 53% off applied at checkout:Pro 3+50% off applied at checkout:Touch Me Buy two, get 30% off purchase:Pro to Go 2 Booty Absolute Beginners 1Mermaid Vibes Pro 2 Classic BlossomPro 2 Modern BlossomDipping Delight
My favorite yellow headphones are even cheaper than last Prime Day

During July's Prime Day, I could not shut up about the butter yellow Sony WH-CH520 headphones. The color is stunning, and the $38 sale price was too good to pass up. Now, during Prime Big Deal Days, my beloved yellow headphones are down to an even lower $33. If you want to get them at this price, you'll have to act fast, though, as we're coming into the final hours of Amazon's sale, which ends at 11:59 p.m. PT on Oct. 8 (2:59 a.m. ET on Oct. 9).I, of course, bought myself a pair in July (even though I test audio products for a living and literally have five premium noise-cancelling headphones sitting in my home office). I use them as my everyday headphones when I don't care to fully block out the world. They're an awesome pair of cheap headphones that I don't have to be too precious with. (I also influenced my mom to buy the pink pair.)

Because of the on-ear design, you're not going to get superb noise cancellation (there's no ANC on these cans), but they do a surprisingly good job of passively blocking noise. I took these on a flight and was able to comfortably block out the passengers around me.I could ramble on about these, but I'll just say that three months later, I'm still stoked about my purchase, and I'm jealous of everyone who gets to buy the gorgeous butter yellow Sony headphones for even cheaper during Prime Big Deal Days.
Amazon’s get 3 for the price of 2 sale is the sneaky savings trick you’ll want to use before Prime Day ends
If you’ve been lurking on Amazon during the new Prime Day sale, thinking the bargains aren't big enough, the retailer quietly dropped a ‘3 for 2’ promo that's easy to miss.Just in time for the Prime Big Deal Days sale’s final day, this is a deceptively simple offer that can lead to huge savings across books, music, DVDs, toys, and more, but there’s a little strategy involved if you want to make the most of it.This “Get 3 for the price of 2” deal at Amazon during Prime Big Deal Days is refreshingly straightforward: add three eligible items to your cart, and the cost of the cheapest one is automatically deducted at checkout; that’s in addition to any Prime Day price drops these items already have. That means if you pick up Atomic Habits (now $15.39 instead of $27), The Secret of Secrets ($22.80 instead of $38), and Regretting You ($12.95 instead of $14.95), your total will be discounted by $12.95 (the cheapest item of the three) when you hit checkout.

The catch that you need to look out for, though, is that the discount doesn’t appear until the final screen, right under your total; so don’t panic if you don’t see it upfront.Here’s how to claim in three easy steps:Add any three qualifying products to your cart (look for items sold by Amazon.com).Go to your cart and proceed to checkout.The lowest-priced item becomes free — automatically.An important tip to remember is that since Amazon always subtracts the cheapest item, stick with three products of similar price to maximize your savings. If you’re buying a bunch of things at various prices, it could be worth breaking your haul into separate groups of three (with similar-priced items in each) instead of one giant order.The best 3 for 2 deals during Prime Day

October Prime Day: The Hisense Canvas art TV is significantly cheaper than The Frame in every size

Any time Samsung's The Frame goes on sale during a big internet sale event, it's automatically one of our favorite TV deals. But even with some sizes at 50% off for Prime Big Deal Days, I still wouldn't necessarily call The Frame budget-friendly. For everyone looking for an art TV that's even more affordable, Amazon also has the Hisense Canvas on sale. Each 2025 Hisense Canvas TV is significantly cheaper than every respective Frame TV between 55 and 85 inches. The 30% off discount on the 55-inch Canvas and the 28% discount on the 75-inch Canvas are the best deals of the bunch. Here are the exact numbers for comparison's sake:55-inch Hisense Canvas TV — $695.99 $999.99 (save $304) vs. the 55-inch Samsung The Frame on sale for $974.95 or $797.99 for the 2024 model65-inch Hisense Canvas TV — $998 $1,199.99 (save $201.99) vs. the 65-inch Samsung The Frame on sale for $1,357.99 or $1,197.96 for the 2024 model75-inch Hisense Canvas TV — $1,299.99 $1,797.99 (save $498) vs. the 75-inch Samsung The Frame on sale for $1,699.99 at Samsung, sold out at Amazon85-inch Hisense Canvas TV — $1,997.99 $2,097.99 (save $100) vs. the 85-inch Samsung The Frame on sale for $3,297.99 or $2,737.99 for the 2024 model(The Canvas doesn't come in a 43-inch model, so The Frame wins by default there.)Note that, depending on your location, certain models may show as "Temporarily out of stock" on Amazon, so if the one you want is available, it's worth jumping on it quickly.Deputy shopping editor Miller Kern has a Hisense Canvas TV hanging in a gallery wall of actual framed art, and this thing is chic. "The CanvasTV has a matte finish that makes it look less like a TV and more like a giant picture frame. It's not totally glare-proof, but it does look really nice whether the TV is on or off. The TV itself looks stupid good in a gallery wall and really does blend in with other artwork and wall hangings, especially in art mode." As a QLED TV, the Hisense Canvas will do its best work while watching or displaying in daylight. If you're upgrading from a plain ol' LED TV, you'll notice the difference in brightness and color saturation immediately.

The option for a non-Samsung art TV is great news for people who don't vibe with Samsung's... unique smart TV interface. "I'm a big fan of the TV's Google interface and find it way more intuitive and responsive than Samsung's," Miller told me.Each Hisense Canvas TV comes with an ultra-slim magnetic teak frame that you can click on or off, depending on how far you want to stray from the tech-y TV look. The included wall mount can be pushed in further than a typical TV mount, letting the TV lie flush with the wall for a more realistic framed art look.
Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold review: I think Samsung takes this round
Google chose the wrong year to focus on incremental upgrades for its flagship foldable.In the abstract, there's nothing wrong with that. There are only so many things you can do to improve phones on an annual basis, and last year's Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold was, at the time, one of the best foldables money could buy. Alas, 2025 is not 2024. This year's edition, the $1,799 Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold, looks and feels nearly identical from a hardware perspective, instead focusing on AI features that may or may not wet your whistle, and don't really feel new given that they were already present in the Pixel 10. Pixel 10 Pro Fold does curry plenty of favor thanks to solid displays, long battery life, and the same Google photography magic you get with other Pixel phones. But for my money, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7's remarkably thin and light form factor makes that device much more pleasing to use. The 2025 version of the foldable fight goes to Samsung.Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Specs
Big ol' screen.

Before we get into the nitty gritty details, here are the basic specs for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold:6.4-inch outer display with 1080x2364 resolution and 60-120Hz adaptive refresh rate8-inch inner display with 2076x2152 resolution and 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rateGoogle Tensor G5 chip16GB RAM256GB/512GB/1TB storage5,015mAh batteryIt's not super different from the Pixel 9 Pro Fold in these terms, but there are some differences worth noting. For starters, the 1TB storage option is new, and very welcome. I noted in my review for the Pixel 9 Pro Fold that it's bizarre for such a premium (read: expensive) device to top out at 512GB of internal storage, so I'll give Google props for addressing that. The new Tensor G5 chip is the same as the one in the other Pixel 10 phones, and we'll talk performance in a bit. Aside from that, RAM is the same and the display sizes are very similar, with the outer display being just one tenth of an inch bigger than last year's. One thing that's nice here is that both displays have 3,000 nits of peak brightness, an upgrade over the 2,700 nits you'd find in the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. It's a better device for using in sunny conditions outside because of that.The battery has also gotten a boost from 4,650mAh to 5,015mAh, but again, we'll save analysis for later.

Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Design
I don't much care for this color.
Credit: Joe Maldonado/Mashable
Google really didn't get very ambitious with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold's physical design, which is the source of my greatest disappointment with the device.Put simply, it looks and feels a lot like the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. At a glance, you'd barely be able to tell the two apart. It only comes in two boring colors (Moonstone and Jade), as well. It's also got the same weird silhouette as the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, where some of the corners are rounded and others are hard 90-degree angles. I actually find it sort of difficult to grip in certain circumstances; trying to use it in its folded state while lying flat on my back in bed, for instance, is a chore, as it likes to slip out of my hands. To be fair, I praised last year's model for its physical design because, at the time, it was about as thin and light as foldables got. That is no longer the case. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 is remarkably svelte, coming in at 8.9mm of thickness when folded and just 4.2mm when unfolded. Pixel 10 Pro Fold, meanwhile, is 10.8mm folded and 5.2mm unfolded. That's a really serious and immediately noticeable difference.

Put simply, Samsung's phone just feels a lot better to use on a moment-to-moment basis because of its form factor. What Google did here isn't bad, necessarily, but it does feel notably inferior to its main source of competition in the U.S. Aside from that, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold's displays are both very nice and good for use in a variety of situations thanks to their new boosted peak brightness. I still think an unfolded tablet-style foldable is the very best way to watch YouTube videos on the go, and that hasn't changed here. Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Performance
It's perfectly usable when folded.
Credit: Joe Maldonado/Mashable
Put succinctly, the Tensor G5 chip powering the Pixel 10 Pro Fold does what you want it to do. This phone performs nearly flawlessly in everyday testing. Apps load quickly and it doesn't ever hitch or buckle when there's a lot going on. I also never noticed any kind of heat problems during use, so you can probably survive without putting a case on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold. You might want one just for some more interesting color options, though.Unfortunately, the Geekbench 6 app that we use for benchmarking isn't available on Pixel 10 Pro Fold at the time of publication, so we can't provide any kind of real numbers-based analysis here. But this feels like a premium handset when it comes to performance, I can promise you that.Sadly, there aren't really any revolutionary new software features this year that I could find. Pixel 10 Pro Fold has the exact same suite of AI features as the other Pixel 10 phones. That includes good and useful ones, such as live language translation during phone calls and Magic Cue, which scans your data for relevant information (such as flight info or a restaurant reservation) and surface said information when you might need it, such as during phone calls or text chats. It also includes the ones I don't like so much, such as text-based image editing and that thing where you can show objects to Gemini using the phone's camera and learn more about said object. These are not things I ever plan on using, but your mileage may vary. At any rate, these don't work any differently on Pixel 10 Pro Fold than they did on Pixel 10, so there isn't a lot else to say about them.To its credit, Pixel 10 Pro Fold does bring back all of the foldable features Google has been building out over the years, such as multitasking on the inner screen. That's eminently useful, and only becomes more-so with the ability to drag and drop things like images from one app to another. Multitasking is extremely intuitive to the point where you don't even really need a tutorial to figure it out. That said, it was that way last year, too, so this isn't necessarily novel.Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Battery life
Credit: Joe Maldonado/Mashable
There's one area where the Pixel 10 Pro Fold's thicker form factor benefits it versus the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, and that's battery life.Google rates this device for about 30 hours of use on a charge, and that's about what I got out of it. I actually had a pretty difficult time getting the battery to fully drain without resorting to cheap tricks like streaming video for hours at a time. When just using it as a regular phone (for web browsing, social media, and the occasional YouTube video) I was able to get more than a day's worth of use out of it. Compare that to the Z Fold 7, and Samsung looks a little worse. That phone doesn't last for more than 24 hours or so in my experience, so Google wins on battery life, if nothing else.Pixel 10 Pro Fold: CamerasAs is usually the case with Pixel phones, the cameras here are more than adequate. That said, they don't seem terribly different from last year. On top of that, they're actually a step down from the Pixel 10 Pro — a significant step down. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold doesn't support 8K video, lacks the 100x Pro Res Zoom, and has far fewer megapixels.Here are the specs:Rear cameras: 48MP wide, 10.5MP ultrawide, 10.8MP telephoto with 5x optical zoomFront camreas: Two 10MP selfie camerasIn terms of megapixels and optical zoom count, these are exactly the same as what Google provided last year. Still, they snap nice pictures anyway thanks to decent specs and Google's signature software wizardry. Being able to use the inner, unfolded display as a huge viewfinder is nice, too.

The 5x optical zoom lens does its job admirably well, but the 20x zoom is also pretty good, in my experience. The end results don't look overly fake or smudgy, as they often do on other phones. However, the "eye-popping" 100x zoom on the Pixel 10 Pro is missed.

Pixel 10 Pro Fold: Final verdictThere's nothing really wrong with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold on its merits. Taken on its own, it's basically as good as last year's phone, but with a bigger battery and a stronger chip powering it. And at $1,799, its starting price is $200 cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. For that price, we would expect cameras more on par with the Pixel 10 Pro, which starts at $999. But $200 is frankly not a huge number when you're talking about phones that cost around $2,000. If you're going to spend that much on a flagship foldable, you might as well go for Samsung's phone just because it's so much thinner and more comfortable to use. I hate to hinge so much of my criticism on the physical form factor, but with foldables, that's kind of a big deal. I think Samsung has the foldable to beat so far this year (rumor has it the company still has a tri-fold coming soon). We'll see how it shapes up in 2026.

This is Halloween: Ohio man’s Lego skeleton is almost as tall as a house
High up on the list of things I never knew I wanted was a massive, house-sized Lego skeleton adorning my front yard for Halloween. Alan Perkins, a man (and living Halloween legend) from Olmsted Falls, Ohio, is living that dream after engineering exactly such a skeleton. Perkins' giant Lego skeleton measures over 13-feet tall. And yes, the arms articulate. This isn't actually the first time Perkins has gone viral for his Halloween displays. When it comes to Halloween decor, he has a history of doing too much.As the story goes, Perkins wanted to craft a Lego skeleton, which is available in any one of a number of Halloween-themed Lego sets, except he wanted it really big, like, 100 times bigger than what you'd get in a Lego kit. This was no easy task for Perkins, who made several custom tools for the project.

Live, laugh, LifeEyes™️: How the 12-foot Home Depot skeleton became a perennial hit
The full tutorial on how to build your own is available at the popular DIY website Instructables, written by Perkins. The process essentially involves custom cutting a bunch of foam shapes, fixing them together with foam spray, attaching all the various parts with wire and PVC, and then finishing the whole thing with sytroplast and a paint job. All told, the cost was around $1,700, although Perkins admits recreating it from scratch would be closer to $2,500.
Perkins is known around the Cleveland area for his lavish Halloween setups. The LEGO skeleton is his latest masterpiece, but a Facebook video of the rest of his yard shows a Halloween wonderland. Not only did Perkins wind up with arguably the coolest Halloween decoration of all time, but it also got the attention of Lego, which posted his skeleton on Instagram. It has since gone viral, accumulating more than 185,000 likes with many people asking where or how they can obtain one. In addition, Perkins has partnered with Skeletons of St. Jude, a charity event to raise money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, along with over 650 other houses to collect donations. Visit Skeletons of St. Jude and donate if you wish. Recreating such a gem of a decoration is no easy task, but you can buy some pretty neat stuff if you don't go the DIY route. Home Depot released its Halloween lineup, which includes its cult-favorite 12-foot skeleton Skelly. It’s not a Lego skeleton, but it’s still pretty cool. Amazon’s Halloween shop is also open for business, which includes a couple of Halloween Lego sets and Nightmare Before Christmas-themed Echo Dot devices.

As one of Mashable's resident headphones experts, I've been keeping my eyes peeled this October Prime Day for the best noise-cancelling headphones deals, and on day two, I spotted a strong contender for the top spot.The Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones dropped down to $250 at Amazon as of Oct. 8, beating their day one price by $48, and putting them just a cent away from their lowest price ever. At full price, these headphones run you $399.99, making this a whopping $149.99 discount.It's not just the sheer size of the dollar amount that makes this one of the best deals I've seen from Prime Big Deal Days, though. Typically, these headphones do go on sale during shopping holidays, but hover around that aforementioned $298 price point. In fact, the last time we saw them hit the $249.99 price point was back in March.

Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones review: New design and improved sound quality
Then, there's the fact that even when I compared them head-to-head, I found the Sony WH-1000XM5 held up to their newer counterpart, the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones. (Those are also on sale for October Prime Day, but for a much for modest $20 off, putting them at $428). The design is nearly identical, minus the folding ear cups and a couple of on-ear controls. The sound quality is slightly warmer and fuller on the XM6, but the XM5s still give some of the best sound on the market. The noise-cancelling power is about the same, as is the battery life.In other words, you can get a pair of premium headphones for about $200 less than the price of most newer options on the market, making this WH-1000XM5 deal worth checking out this fall Prime Day.

For Trump officials, social media is war
President Donald Trump’s obsession with social media is so notorious that it has its own Wikipedia page. But since his return to the White House, that fixation has seeped into the highest levels of government, with cabinet officials adopting his combative style and reshaping how public servants behave online.Consider Vice President JD Vance, who shrugged off war crime accusations after Trump authorized an extrajudicial strike on a Venezuelan fishing boat by posting on X that, "I don’t give a shit what you call it." Or the official DHS X account, which now floods timelines with seemingly AI-generated 4chan memes and WWII-style recruitment posters for ICE — including one featuring the Statue of Liberty with glowing laser eyes. FCC Chair Brendan Carr recently blasted Democrats on X for "weaponizing government to silence dissent" after a California senator suggested breaking up Sinclair Broadcasting — days after Carr appeared on a podcast threatening Disney, ABC, and local affiliates with regulatory action over Jimmy Kimmel’s comment about Charlie Kirk.Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel called MSNBC "an ass clown factory" on X after the network noted that the DOJ prohibits perp walks — a detail only mentioned because a bureau agent had been allegedly suspended for refusing to stage one with former FBI director James Comey. Patel also recently faced criticism for his behavior on X following the murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk; hours after the killing, Patel stated a suspect was in custody, only to post a follow-up 90 minutes later announcing the suspect was released. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem took to X recently to accuse Illinois Governor JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson of sheltering and protecting "criminal illegal alien gangbangers." That's a disturbingly racist choice of words to put out into the world, especially from the nation’s top domestic security official.This isn’t fringe behavior anymore. In Trump’s second term, hostile and dehumanizing social media posts are a regular occurrence. Whether the incendiary posting is official policy or simply "flooding the zone," a deliberate tactic of overwhelming the public with constant outrage and noise so that no single scandal can stick, is anyone's guess. "To paraphrase Truman, the buck stops with the president," Ryan Geddie, a political analyst and YouTuber from Texas, said in an email to Mashable. "[Trump's] behavior on social media over the last decade has given everyone in the administration — down to whoever’s running the DHS X account — license to go more radical online."In addition to following Trump's lead, Geddie also believes the hostile posting is not just for Trump's eyes but for conservative media audiences as well. "[Trump's cabinet] rightly or wrongly equate these audiences with conservative voters in general. Their social media personas are driven almost entirely by what they imagine these groups will enjoy," Geddie said.The rise of influencer creep in politicsPart of the Trump administration's online behavior may also be an extension of "influencer creep," said Sophie Bishop, an associate professor at The University of Leeds and feminist media researcher. The term, coined by Bishop, describes how the relentless self-branding and content-churning logic of influencer culture has bled into other professions — journalism, academia, and now, apparently, the federal government. It’s not hard to see why: Several of Trump’s most powerful cabinet officials built their careers not in law or public service, but in broadcasting, podcasting, and cable news.Both Patel and Dan Bongino, the Deputy Director of the FBI, came from podcasting — Patel as a part-time podcast guest host for former Trump Chief of Staff Steve Bannon and Bongino as one of the most prominent pro-Trump influencers online. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth spent seven years on Fox & Friends Weekend. Jeanine Pirro, once a nightly Fox News firebrand, now serves as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. Kimberly Guilfoyle, former co-host of The Five, is the ambassador to Greece. Sean Duffy, a former Real World cast member and Fox Business co-host, runs the Department of Transportation. And Tulsi Gabbard, who signed on as a Fox News contributor in 2022, is now the Director of National Intelligence. Together, these individuals have millions of social media followers, and as any good influencer knows, they must be constantly fed."The kind of online persona building used by the Trump cabinet is just one piece of the puzzle," Bishop said in an email to Mashable. "Influencer creep accelerates the more divisive or sensationalist elements of political speech because extreme moments and soundbites are algorithmically rewarded with attention."

"[Trump officials] have time to do this because Trump and his administration see being a headline-generating media personality as an important part of the job description," Geddie says. "Certainly, they have better things to do."As for the official White House and DHS accounts — both run by anonymous staffers — Geddie says the explanation for their posts may lie in GOP staffer culture itself."If we’re talking about social media specifically, I think an under-examined angle is the connection between the online right and the GOP staffer class," Geddie says. "There’s been reporting about how figures like Bronze Age Pervert, [Curtis] Yarvin, and the flood of pseudonymous X accounts are shaping young GOP staffers — and that lines up with what I’ve seen talking to young Republicans."Who exactly is behind those official social media accounts — known for churning out memes and AI-generated images of crying detainees — remains an open question. When Mother Jones reporter Anna Merlan tried to find out, the White House ignored her request. DHS, meanwhile, replied with an email declaring that "the American people can no longer rely on journalists like Anna Merlin [sic]" before laying into former President Joe Biden and claiming "American daughters were raped and murdered by illegal aliens" under his watch. That email's verbiage is strikingly similar to DHS's pinned post on its X account: "America has been invaded by criminals and predators. We need YOU to get them out."

iPad is bringing back a much-missed feature in iPadOS 26.1
Apple is bringing Slide Over back to the iPad.The feature allows iPad users to quickly slide an app in and out of the side of the screen. For non-iPad users, it essentially works the same as minimizing and maximizing an app or window on a Mac. Many iPad users utilize Slide Over for multitasking, quickly opening and closing an app to make room for other tasks without actually leaving the app.
SEE ALSO:
Review: iPadOS 26 finally made me an iPad person
However, when the new iPadOS 26 launched in September, Apple removed a few multitasking features, such as Split View and Slider Over. The reason was simple enough: iPadOS 26 introduces a whole new way to manage apps with its windowing system.Multitasking options like Split View were no longer necessary, as the windowing system provides an even better alternative. Users can still view two app windows simultaneously side-by-side.Yet, nothing in the new iPadOS 26 update acted as a replacement for Slide Over. Apple must have heard from enough iPad users who missed the feature, as it has since returned in the beta version of iPadOS 26.1.Slide Over is now directly integrated within iPadOS 26's new windowing system. Users will also be able to resize the app window. However, the newly reintroduced Slide Over has one drawback: It currently only works with one app at a time.Maybe Apple will reintroduce the ability to switch between multiple apps in Slide Over in future beta versions, too.
