This feature is useful for multitasking and will enable users to perform multiple tasks simultaneously. For example, taking notes while watching a video or browsing the web while working on a document. In this guide, we will share how to enable split screen on Android 13 for multitasking.

How to Split Android Apps Using a Third-Party App
Several third-party apps on the Google Play Store can be used to split-screen on Android devices. Here are a few popular ones:
- Parallel Windows: This app allows users to open two apps simultaneously in split-screen mode and supports drag-and-drop functionality between apps.
- Split-Screen Creator: This app allows users to create custom shortcuts for launching apps in split-screen mode.
- Multi Window: This app allows users to open multiple apps simultaneously in split-screen mode and supports resizing app windows.
- Floating Apps: This app allows users to open apps in floating windows, which can be used in split-screen mode.
Please remember that not all third-party apps work on all devices, and they may not be compatible with all apps. Also, before using a third-party app, it’s imperative to check the reviews and ratings of the app, as well as the permissions it requests.
Note: This feature may be disabled by default; you may need to enable it in the settings. Also, only some devices support this feature, which may only be available on some Android 13 devices.
