Mine is even s3 mini and its android version is 4.2.2 and it works perfectly. All you need is first, play the video from the inbuilt video player and you can take the video anywhere with you while equally doing other things. Or even if you are already doing something else, the video must be played from the inbuilt video player

Like I said this feature had been available on Samsung flagship phones for a long time. But for every other Android phones it's only available from Android 7.0.

Moreover this one u have is not multi window. It's pop up window where u can play video from the inbuilt video player and then minimize it let it play in a small window while u do something else. But u cannot play touribe video and what's app at the same time. Or open navigation and web browser at the same time. That is only available on Android 7.0 upwards on every phones and on Samsung flagship phones from gakaxy s4 or so. Samsung flagships even have advanced features like opening up to 4 windows at the same time side by side, more advanced than the native Android multi window.

If ur phone is not running Android 7.0 and above don't bother, unless u have a Samsung flagship phone then it can work with even Android 5.0. if ur phone meets the specifications, then open an app, then press and hold the recent apps button and it will bring out a list of apps that can be opened in the second window. Or u can also do it by holding the recent apps button, then press home button and select another app and both apps will appear in a multiwindow.

How often do you use the split screen function in your smartphone?


I've tried and tried. It simply minimises. But there have been times when I accidentally activated split screen...But I just don't know how it happened.

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime.

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy J7 Prime.
open the apps u want to work with.

Press and hold[long press] the minimise button.

The screen should split at this juncture.

Note: can only Vouche it works on phones running android V7.0. Though some Samsung users claim the feature works on lesser versions.

Good luck.

First of all ur phone must be on Android 7.0 and above. If it is then open an app, then press and hold the recent apps button to select another app. Very simple.


Seems Like It Doesn't Work On IPhones Bro ?

I actually enjoy using UC browser though. The fact that it acts like a mini and a full browser works perfectly for navigation

you're wrong there. You can split screen on Touchwiz from android 5.0
Re: How Often Do You Use The Split Screen Function In Your Smartphone? by jeronimo(m): 8:33am On Mar 23, 2018
I use it almost everyday especially if I have a list of numbers on whatsapp to call, I'll be going through the numbers while dialing. It's a utility feature. When you start using it, you will wonder how you lived without it.

Yes Samsung had it on their older devices, but it became a native Android feature from Android 7.0 upwards

The one on Samsung is really different from split screen, you can open multiple windows on your screen with that features

I am using M5 can it work on it?

I watch video on my Mg and also run another app. All you need do is open a video and minimize the screen, you can shift the video to any direction; up or down while the other app keeps running.....
