How to Split Android Screen into Two Parts

How to split Android screen into two parts

Before using and activating the split screen mode on Android let’s see the version of the system installed on your mobile device which, as I wrote to you in the previous paragraph, must be at least Android 9 or later.

Open the Settings app (the one in the shape of a gear) and from the menu that appears scroll down then tap on the Phone Info item and from the screen that opens, check the installed system on Android version.

After checking the system installed on your smartphone or tablet, if the version matches, you can proceed.

• Open the first app for example Youtube and then return to the home screen by pressing the central button of the mobile phone (usually in the shape of a circle) located under the center of the screen.
• Now hit the Recent apps button usually in the shape of a square which is located at the bottom right corner next to the previously mentioned circle button.
• As you can see in the recent apps next to the name there is an icon with two vertical lines. In some smartphone models, on the other hand, you have to hold down the icon at the top to bring up a menu where you have to choose a split screen view.
• To proceed, click on this icon or choose the menu item located in the app.
• After selection, the app will be visible at the top of the screen while the bottom is empty.
• At this point also open the second application for example Facebook which will automatically position itself at the bottom of the screen.
• After the Android screen has split into two parts, as you can see, a horizontal line has formed between the apps to keep them separate. This you can press with your finger and move up or down to resize the two windows to your liking.

If you turn the smartphone horizontally and the mobile phone screen rotates automatically, it is equally divided horizontally with the dividing line that you can move to the right or left. If you want to switch to another app, press the Recent apps icon and after the one below is removed, start another one.
