4. Tap "Open in split screen view."
5. That app will now occupy the top half of the screen, and the list of recent apps will continue to appear in the bottom. Find the other app you want to appear in the other half of the split screen - you can tap another recent app, or you can tap the Home button and select any app from your homescreen.

After you select a second app, it will appear below the first one, with a divider separating them.
How to adjust split-screen windows when multitasking on a Galaxy S10
Once you have configured two apps, each one takes up exactly half of the screen, and you can interact with each one the way you usually would. Here are some things to keep in mind:
- You can rotate the screen so the apps are truly side by side, rather than above and below each other.

Rotate the screen so the apps are side-by-side.
- If you want to give one app more space on the screen than the other, you can drag the divider that separates the two apps to resize them.

Dragging the divider lets you change the size of the apps.
- You can change the second app (in the lower position) at any time just by closing it and choosing a different app.
- To end your side-by-side multitasking session and return to just a single app, grab the divider between the two apps and drag it all the way to the top or bottom of the screen, so one app takes over the entire display.
