Is Android 16 available?
In 2025, Android continues to support split-screen multitasking, allowing users to run two apps simultaneously on the screen. The traditional split-screen typically divides the screen roughly 70:30 or 50:50 between two apps, but a new feature introduced with Android 16 proposes a 90:10 split-screen mode. This allows one app to dominate about 90% of the screen while the other app occupies a smaller 10% portion, making it easier to focus on the main app while still having quick access to a secondary app. Users can tap the smaller app to swap sizes with the main one, enhancing multitasking flexibility and efficiency on phone displays [12] [16].
The basic way to use split-screen on Android 2025 models involves opening your first app, accessing the recent apps view, long-pressing the app icon, and selecting "split screen" or "open in split screen view." Then you select the second app to occupy the other pane. You can adjust the size by dragging the divider between the two apps. This process is consistent across most Android devices with minor variations per manufacturer [9] [13] [14].
Some devices, like Motorola Moto G 2025, support gestures to split the screen or freeform multi-window modes that allow apps to run in small movable windows, along with picture-in-picture video playback for certain apps [10].
Therefore, Android 2025 enhances split-screen with new ratios for better multitasking while maintaining classic methods that let users easily open and manage two apps side by side.
