Ben Lovejoy, 9to5Mac:

One of the big improvements in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 is that Siri no longer takes over the whole screen. However, in the early betas you couldn’t interact with Siri and apps at the same time – doing anything with an app, even scrolling, would dismiss Siri.

A Redditor noticed that this is no longer the case on the iPad as of iPadOS 14 beta 5.

Here’s a link to the video showing this off.

Note that this works on iPadOS but not iOS. Not clear if that will change over time. Definitely a feature worth checking out. Siri working in parallel with the rest of the interface, rather than completely taking over, is a big step forward.
