iOS 11 could have a drag-and-drop function

As the hours go by, the plans that Apple could have prepared for this afternoon continue to be revealed. We have already seen how a «Files» application could present as a file explorer, we do not know if only for iPad or also for iPhone, also that the «TV» application could reach other countries outside the United States, and now there are signs that speak of a "drag and drop" function in iPad multitasking.

If a few days ago the developers of well-known applications such as Documents, Spark or PDF Expert showed us how They had managed to implement this function in iOS 10 without official support for it, it seems that Apple has in its plans to provide all developers with the tools to do so, as we see in an image of the "Feedback" application that is included in the iOS Betas.

There has been talk for a long time about this "Drag and Drop" or drag and drop function that would allow us to have two applications on the screen and take files from one another, which would make it much easier to share files between applications without having to resort to the current way of doing it by means of the «Share Sheet» which for many users is complicated.

The fact that it is together with the item «Split View» (split screen) indicates that it will be a function that will accompany this multitasking, for the moment restricted to the latest iPad models whose power and RAM memory allow two applications to be open simultaneously . But it is not ruled out that this type of split screen is also added to the iPhone 7 Plus, which has the ability to position the screen horizontally, so it may be that Apple's large iPhone also has this ability to drag and drop. iOS 11 is the hope of many who want the iPad to become a much more productive tool, and this could be a first step alongside the file explorer.
