Separate two controllers that show in iPad in the same screen for use in iPhone

Question

I am trying to convert an iPad project to an iPhone project. I used to work with Android apps so it's being a hard work for me.

In iPad I have a screen with two containers: ContainerProfile and ContainerSection. The container profile always show the profile and the containersection is for showing the different options that you can choose in a menu, and things like ranking, social, rewards...

In iPhone these containers never will see it at the same time, because have a smaller screen, so what I can do to separate it? tell me if you need more information.

Sorry because i didn't explain it good. The menu is in the top bar and you see the information about this menu in the right container, but now in iPhone this is not possible. I give the code for you have more idea.

#import “ATMyProfileContainerViewController.h"
#import “ATMyProfileMainViewController.h"
#import “ATSocialSectionContainerViewController.h"
#import “ATPortfolioSectionContainerViewController.h"

I don't know if I can have the same containers in the same screen and hide de containerPerfil when select something in the menu or what can be the best solution.

Thanks

You can use UISplitViewController.

UISplitViewController shows the items to the left of the screen and right information about the selected item (only if you are using an iPad in landscape). If you are using an iPhone or an iPad in portrait, first show your items. And if you select an item, you can see the details.
