How to use Split Screen View on any Samsung tablet model

There are a number of reasons why you should buy one of the best Samsung tablets. Maybe you need a big, beautiful screen to really make your way through that Netflix watch list. Maybe you want to use the power of the S Pen to create some masterpieces. Or maybe you’re looking for a capable gaming tablet and work machine. Samsung’s Galaxy Tab range can handle all of these roles with ease.

But whatever your needs, it’s important to make the most of the big screen. A larger screen is the main advantage of a tablet compared to a smartphone, and this large screen is especially suitable for multitasking and displaying several applications at once. So whether you’re checking directions while messaging, taking notes while sitting in a meeting, or reading a book while keeping an eye on social media, here’s how to use the split-screen view on your Samsung Galaxy Tab tablet.

Hold the Galaxy Tab S8 in your hand and display multiple apps running simultaneously.

How to use split screen mode in Android 9.0 Pie and above

The easiest way to use split screen mode is by using Android’s built-in tools. Split-screen display was introduced on Samsung devices in Android 9.0 Pie — more than four years ago — so most modern Samsung tablets should have access to the feature. Here’s how to use it.

Step 1: Open the first split screen app. This is not required, but you must be able to find the app in the recent apps list.

Step 2: Open the recent apps list by swiping up from the bottom of the tablet and holding for a second or tapping Recent applications button on the navigation bar.

Step 3: Tap on the icon of the selected app.

Step 6: Select the second app you want to open in the app drawer and it will pop up next to your first app.

From here you can use those two apps as usual, but there are some other tricks you can use. You can resize windows by dragging the bar between them, but you can also open a single application in popup view.

Opening the application in a pop-up window

Instead of opening the selected app in split-screen mode, you can open it in a small pop-up window. You can do this from the recent apps menu or while you already have an app open in split screen view.

To open from the recent apps menu:

Step 1: Open the recent apps menu.

Step 2: Tap on the app icon and select Open in popup view.

Already have an app open in split screen view? Here’s how to turn it into a popup.

Step 1: Tap the blue line at the top of the app.

Step 2: Choose Pop-up view icon. It should be first on the list.
