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

Never used it b4

I find it difficult using it unless I'm chatting with my girlfriend.

I use it everyday. Watching YouTube and whatsapping couldn't be better.

Wouldn't mind trying if I know d proceedings

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.

There are some exceptions though, like Samsung phones from the past had this feature, also some other manufacturers included it on older software but doesn't support many apps. It became available to all Android phones from Android 7.0 and supports many apps.

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

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. The image below is me watching YouTube and doing nairaland.

Yes, Samsung has had multiwindow a long time before it became a general Android thing. I remember pop up window in the days of galaxy s3. Multiwindow has been around on Samsung flagships since around 2012 but didn't support many apps. The implementation from Android 7.0 upwards has made it support many more apps.

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
