iPad Pro Can you use an iPad as a second display ?

[Chaparral02]

Does anyone know if I can use my second iPad as an extended display ?

example: I want to use my 11” iPad as an extended display when using my 12.9 iPad

No. You cannot do that. An iPad can extend the Mac's display, but not another iPad.

 

[Bballrob]

Yes

 

[wilberforce]

Yes

Ambiguous answer.
Yes you know, or yes OP can?

On the latest OS versions, and iPad can act as a second display for a Mac natively using a feature Apple calls “Sidecar.” For Windows computers there are some 3rd parties such as Duet Display that I’ve also used.

I don’t think an iPad can act as a second display to another iPad. Probably would be better to use different apps in each and reply on could sync for data if you’re working on a project.

Pretty disappointing the ipad doesn't support this ☹️

I was really expecting it to of been able to support doing something simple as this and specially with it being 2 of apple own devices

Am learning very quickly that IpadOS doesn't know how to do a lot of things

Still love my ipads but the limits of what they can do is really annoying sometimes

I'm curious... what exactly are you trying to display on the second iPad display?

Just a heads up in case you were not aware of this feature… It is called Universal Clipboard. The idea is to copy and paste across different devices that are signed in with the same Apple ID.
