Right now tiling only works manually by using shift + dragging with the mouse or touchpad. It'd be very useful to have a built-in auto tiling feature, which can be enabled by advanced users, which works similar to i3 or sway. :)
There's currently a kind of popular auto tiling script [1] but it hasn't met my expectations yet. System76's upcoming COSMIC DE has gotten a great auto tiling feature [2] for reference.

Isn't this a duplicate of Bug 503563 ?

For what it's worth, we intentionally didn't implement auto-tiling because we think that third party scripts would do a better job. We'd rather provide the necessary infrastructure to accomplish that. We may incorporate some tiling features in kwin core in the future but kwin is still a stacking window manager, it used to be able to do proper tiling but it didn't go well (so it was removed long time ago).
