Get the multitasking mojo flowing! Call up recent apps with a swipe or tap, then press-and-hold an app icon. The secret menu appears! Select “Split screen” and conquer two apps simultaneously!
Now Google will ask you to choose the other app. Do so by tapping on it.
Immediately, the apps chosen by you pop into a perfect split-screen mode, giving them an equal share of your display. The central splitter can be used to adjust any imbalance. It works very well if you want to carve out split-screen real estate to specific needs.

Being stuck in the past with an old Android phone? Don’t let it hold you back from experiencing the future of app pairing! While native support is unavailable, there exists a wonderfully clever workaround. Enjoy the power of paired apps with just a little help from a third-party superhero such as Be Nice.
Ready to breathe new life into your digital world? Grab the app first and let it work some magic on your device. Once the installation is complete, give it a whirl! Alongside your installed apps are all set up on the main screen for you. Now, the fun bit: see that little “+” twinkling in the bottom right corner? Go ahead and tap it!
A new pop-up window will appear on the screen. Press theSelect first appoption.
Select the first app you want to view in split screen from the list of apps.
Next, tap on theSelect second appin the pop-up. Make sure theAdd dynamic shortcutoption is ticked.
Ready for the launch of your dynamic duo? On this screen, give your shortcut a joyful name, and then select an icon that denotes big-time efficiency for it. Once armed and trained, press the darn “Create” button to release it upon the world!
Tap onAdd to homescreenin the pop-up that appears at the bottom.
The shortcut should be waiting for you.
The maiden voyage of Be Nice sets up a neat split-screen view with the two apps, giving each one a full share of the limelight. Customize the view to your heart’s desire by resizing them! However, this kind gesture will not last long. Be Nice does not remember your preferred layout; hence, you will have to readjust it the next time you launch the shortcut.
FYI : never miss an alert. Check how to access notification history on Android.
