If you are using Dex mode, then the steps to use split screen will be different. Instead, you’ll have to manually resize the apps for use in split screen or multiview, or you’ll have to use keyboard shortcuts.

When you open the app, you can click the resize icon in the top right corner of the app window. Now you will have to manually resize apps by dragging the sides of the app window. You can do the same for other apps and use them in split screen mode.
