How to use split screen mode on Android devices

You can enable split screen mode into two separate displays for applications on your Android device.
Many newer Android devices now allow users to run applications in split-screen mode, allowing them to be used and viewed both at the same time. However running in split screen mode can drain the battery faster. And not all applications can run in this mode, typically the application requires operating in full screen mode as the game. Also, not all Android devices support split screen mode.

How to activate split screen mode

From your home screen, touch the Recent Apps button in the lower left corner, which has a vertical three-bar icon.
In the Recent Apps interface, navigate to the app you want to use in split screen mode, then touch and hold the app to open the menu. When the menu appears select the line Open in split screen view. Note that if the application does not support use in split screen mode, there is no such option.

Steps to activate split screen mode

The application you selected will temporarily appear as a black bar at the top of the screen. Click the other application you want to use in the split screen. Your apps will now appear in split screen, and you'll be able to seamlessly switch between them. They will be separated by a black bar.
When you want to close one of the apps and end the split screen mode, tap and hold the black bar in the middle of the screen, then swipe in the direction of the app you want to close. The screen will appear green momentarily and the application will close.
