It’s super simple! Just open your first app, then swipe up from the bottom and hold to see your open apps. Drag the second app on top!

I need to try that! I usually just end up switching constantly between apps. Thanks for the tip!
For work, I really recommend pairing Google Docs with Slack. Keeps communication and documentation right at your fingertips!
Definitely give it a shot! Split screen can completely change how smoothly you can multitask.

What I found amusing is how I initially thought split screen was just for showing off. Now I can’t imagine not using it!

Right? I had that same thought! But now it’s like a secret weapon for efficiency.
I have mixed feelings about split screen. Sometimes the app layouts don’t work well together, and it can feel cramped. Anyone else face this?
I totally get that! But I think with the right apps, you can find a good balance. What apps do you struggle with?
I’m curious if anyone has tried social media apps like Instagram in split screen. How was the experience? Can it really enhance user interaction?
Honestly, using Instagram and Twitter side by side has been fun! It’s like I’m instantly updated on everything without jumping back and forth.
To enable split screen on your Pixel, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open recent apps, then tap on the app’s icon you want to split and select ‘Split screen’. It’s straightforward! Just note some apps may not support it.
I often run into compatibility issues with certain apps like Netflix and Hulu in split screen. Is anyone else facing this problem?
You’re not alone, @pamelagonzalez! I also noticed performance issues, especially when using two resource-heavy apps. My Pixel seems to lag sometimes while multitasking.
That’s a bummer. Maybe it’s a software bug? I’ve seen people mention that a software update improved performance for them. Have you tried updating?
Yes, definitely check for updates. They often include bug fixes that could help with split screen performance. Go to Settings > System > System Update!
I rarely have issues with performance, but I’ve noticed some apps don’t quite maximize in split screen mode. Sometimes, tools like Instagram or Snapchat just don’t fit well.
Yeah, @zclark! I had the same problem with Twitter last week. It was cut off, which was frustrating. Anyone else experiencing this?
Totally agree! It’s almost humorous how some apps can be so well optimized and others just can’t keep up. Maybe the developers need to wake up! Anyone else feel the same?

Right?! 
Sometimes I wish the apps would have a split-screen friendly mode. What do you think? Is that even possible?

That’s an interesting thought @andreaperez. But considering the diversity of app functions, it might be a challenge. Still, it would be a great improvement for users!
