How to use split screen mode on your Android phone or tablet and use two apps at once
Trending News
Have you ever wanted to use two apps on your Android mobile device at the same time? If so, you're in luck.
Most new Android phones from over a dozen different manufacturers now allow you to run apps in split screen mode, which lets you use and view them both at once. And it's easy to activate split screen mode.
You should note, however, that running apps in split screen mode can deplete your battery faster than running them normally. And not all apps can be run in split screen mode — apps that require the full screen to function, like games, won't offer you the option.But if you do have a compatible Android device and two apps that you'd like to run in split screen mode, here's how to do it.
4. The app you selected will temporarily appear as a black bar on the top of the screen. Tap on the other app you want to use in split screen.
5. Your apps will now appear in split screen, and you should be able to switch between the two of them seamlessly. They'll be separated by a black bar, similar to the one you saw in step 4.
Apps like YouTube and Netflix are well-suited to split screen, since their video capabilities require little interactivity. Mobile games, on the other hand, might not be able to utilize split screen if their gameplay needs a lot of attention from the player.
