Splitting your screen on the Vivo V15 Pro allows you to run two applications simultaneously, enhancing your multitasking capabilities. This feature is particularly useful for tasks like watching a video while chatting, browsing the web while taking notes, or comparing information between two apps.
Here's a straightforward guide to activating and managing split-screen mode on your Vivo V15 Pro.
Activating Split Screen Mode
You can typically activate split screen through the recent apps menu, which is the most common method on Android devices, including the Vivo V15 Pro.
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Open Your First App: Begin by opening the application you wish to use in the top half of the split screen. Ensure it is an app that supports split-screen mode (most popular apps do, but some games or full-screen apps may not).
- Access Recent Apps (Multitasking View):
- Using Navigation Buttons: If your Vivo V15 Pro uses on-screen navigation buttons, tap the recent apps button (often represented by three vertical lines or a square icon). This will display all your recently opened applications as cards.
- Using Gesture Navigation: If you've enabled gesture navigation, swipe up from the bottom of your screen and hold your finger for a moment. This action will also bring up the recent apps view.
- Initiate Split Screen for the First App:
- In the recent apps view, locate the card for the app you want to use first.
- Look for a small split-screen icon on the app's preview card. This icon is typically found at the top of the card and may look like two rectangles stacked or side-by-side. Tap this icon.
- Alternatively, you might need to long-press the app's icon at the very top of its preview card to reveal a menu, from which you can then select "Split Screen."
- For those using "tricky navigation" (often referring to gesture-based systems), the split-screen option or button might specifically appear at the top right corner of the app's preview within the recent apps interface.
- Select "Split Screen": If a menu appears, tap on the "Split Screen" option. The first app will then move to occupy the top half of your display.
- Choose the Second App: The bottom half of your screen will now display your recent apps or your app drawer. Tap on the second application you wish to use. This app will open in the lower half of the screen, and you're now in split-screen mode!
Exiting Split Screen Mode
To exit split-screen mode, simply drag the dividing line between the two applications all the way to the top or bottom of the screen. The app that occupies the full screen will remain open, while the other will be minimized or closed, depending on your system's settings.
Tips for Using Split Screen Effectively
- Resize Windows: You can adjust the size of each app window by dragging the divider line up or down.
- Unsupported Apps: Not all applications support split screen. If an app doesn't work, you'll usually receive a notification.
- Orientation: Split screen works in both portrait and landscape orientations. Rotate your phone to adjust the layout as needed.
