Hi Members, since OneUI 3.0, the way of Split Screen has changed. We need to preset the apps before using the split screen. Or we have to choose the apps that on Edge Screen. What about apps that is not on Apps Edge? Not effective like before. 😤😤😤 For instance, While on the phone, a person said want to make an appointmet with you. You do split screen, but Calendar app not on your Apps Edge and recently not been used (only 4 recent apps show on Apps Edge)? 🤔
If make a search on forum, couple posts have been made talking about split screen not working good after OneUI 3.0. 😪😪😪
In the old days, we can do split screen with any apps we want (Apps that support split screen). Recently, I played around a feature and found a work around temporary🤩. I am not sure if everyone already know this tips, maybe some advanced users already knew. If this is not new to you, you can ignore the post. If you found this work around useful to you, thank you for reading the post. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So, the work around is using "Open in pop-up view" when your apps opened, let's use the Phone app again for example. While on the phone talking to someone and you need to look at the Calendar. First of all, put your phone to spearker mode. Click Recent (the 3 strokes on bottom left conrner). On Phone app, click the top icon.
Then, this time choose "Open in pop-up view" instead.
Once Phone app changed to Pop-up view, now you can move Phone app everywhere. Also, you can swipe up to App Drawer, you can swipe left or right from Home screen, and you can click any pinned apps on home screen. In my example below, I use Pop-up view on my Phone app, then open Calendar app at background.
Once you have 2 apps opened. Click on the blue bar on Phone app to show split screen tool bar.
Click on the far left Split Screen icon and done. Ta Da...we have split screen anytime with any apps.
This way, we can pair any apps that are supported split screen view, set 2 apps in split screen right away, and not restricted by Apps Edge limited app choice.
I hope this tips can help some members who have the same problem while using Split Screen after OneUI 3.0. Have a good weekend guys! 🌤
