Split Screen on Android: How to use split screen on OnePlus, Samsung, Vivo, OPPO, Realme and Xiaomi Android mobile phones?

The split screen feature on Android devices is a great way to be more productive, but we’re surprised some people still don’t know about it. Google introduced the split-screen feature, also known as multi-window support, in Android 7 Nougat.

As the name suggests, it allows Android users to run and view two apps at the same time. The Android 7 feature is especially useful on devices with large screens, where you can easily multi-task. For example, you can play YouTube videos on one side of the screen and take notes on the other. Split-screen functionality has become an essential tool for foldable devices as well. In this article, we’ll take a look at how you can toggle split screen features on your Android device.

Before enabling split screen on an Android device

While split screen is a great Android feature, it’s important to note that it consumes more battery than average. This is because you will be running two applications at the same time instead of just one. Also, it is possible that this feature may not be available on your Android device. In this case, any third-party apps available on the Google Play Store can help you. Finally, not all applications support multi-window mode. While you can get them to work in split screen, these apps are more likely to cause performance issues.

How to use split screen on OnePlus devices

Toggling split screen on OnePlus devices is very similar to how you would do the same on a Google Pixel device. Here is how you can launch split screen on OnePlus devices:

2. Tap and hold an app.

3. Select “Split Screen”from the pop-up menu.

4. Open another app you want to launch in split screen.

You can resize apps and give them more display space by tapping and dragging the black bar that separates the two apps. If you want to close the split screen, just drag the black bar to the top or bottom. Depending on which side you drag from, the black bar determines which app will take up the entire screen.
