I haven’t noticed lag, but performance really depends on how many apps you’re running in the background. My Pixel 6 generally handles it well so far.
Yeah, James! My experience has been smooth too, until I tried using games. Then it gets you wondering if it’s just me or the phone!

Haha, TTaylor, I feel that! Gaming in split screen can be challenging. However, it’s great that we can utilize entertainment apps like Spotify while working or studying simultaneously.

Exactly! It’s all about balancing work and play. I also think video calling while checking messages can be productive and fun!
To enable split screen on your Pixel 6, swipe up from the bottom, find the app you want to use, then drag it to the top half of the screen. It’s super handy for multitasking!
Great tip! Anyone have advice on optimizing performance while in split screen? I’ve noticed some lag sometimes.
To minimize lag, try closing background apps you’re not using. It frees up RAM, which can really help with the split screen performance.
That’s a solid strategy! Also, reducing animations in the developer options can boost performance.
I heard that adjusting the screen timeout can save battery life. It might help while you’re multitasking with split screen too!

Going a bit off-topic, but how many apps do you regularly use in split screen? I usually stick to two; switching is tedious!
Using two apps is usually optimal for me too. Which apps are best when used together in split screen? I’m looking for some suggestions!
For me, I love using Google Docs and Chrome side by side. Perfect for researching while writing!
That’s a great combo! But sometimes, it feels like the Pixel 6 struggles with more demanding apps in split screen.
If your Pixel 6 starts lagging while in split screen, just think of it as your phone’s way of saying, ‘let’s slow down and enjoy life!’
Haha, true! But I’d rather it not enjoy life when I need to multitask!
