Start enjoying the power in screen splitting on Android devices.
New phones can run two apps on the screen at the same time. This is called split-screen mode. Additionally, that same features adds some impressive multitasking capabilities to Android as a whole.

How to Split the Android Screen
To launch split-screen mode, you need to have one app open. Then, touch and hold the Intents button. You may know it as the “recent apps” button. Notice that it changes to a different icon to indicate you’re in split screen mode.
Half of the screen will feature the app you’re using, while the other will show a list of previously-used apps. The scrollable card deck is the same as you’d see during any typical multitasking session.
You’ll see a small pop-up notice over the card of any apps that don’t support split-screen view. If you want to use one of the apps in this list that supports the feature just scroll, tap it, and then you’re good to go.
To go back to just one app, touch and hold the Intents button. You’ll see the top app (or the one on the left if you’re in landscape mode) fill the screen.
However, let’s say one of the apps you want to go split-screen with isn’t in your multitasking list. Touch the home button and you’ll be taken to your home screen.
