How to Split the Screen on Google Pixel 5a 5G

Every modern cell phone user at least once noticed a desire to use several applications at once. A typical example is watching videos on YouTube and simultaneous correspondence with a loved one or a friend. Many people are sure that this is impossible and it is necessary to choose one thing. But thanks to updates to the Android system, this has long been no longer the case. Split the screen on the Google Pixel 5a 5G into two parts you can literally in a couple of finger clicks.

Displaying two applications on the screen Google Pixel 5a 5G: instruction #1

The first option is a clean split screen, which will make it as comfortable as possible to use two programs and change the size of their windows according to the height indicator. In order to use this feature, do the following:

Open the first app you're interested in (Telegram, for example).
Swipe from the right-most edge of the screen without releasing your finger until you see an icon with four squares (after this you will also see a long bar with the rest of your programs).
Select the second app you want to use in split screen mode (e.g. YouTube) - hold your finger on its icon and don't release it.
Without releasing the icon, move it a little to the left to the empty space - you can select the top of the screen relative to Telegram or move it to the bottom if you need YouTube playing at the bottom.
Enjoy simultaneous chatting in Telegram and watching YouTube videos (or other simultaneous use of apps) - if necessary, you can drag the bar up and down between the two windows and make the window of one app longer vertically and the other shorter.

We hope that this option of setting up the two-window mode will help you.

If you are not interested in such a purely phone-tablet option of setting the split screen, you can use another option, which creates additional application windows on the example of computer applications. To do this:

Repeat steps 1 and 2 of the previous setup option.
Instead of clicking on the icon of the required second program, just click on its icon.
An additional window will instantly appear on the screen, which will be located on top of the primary application and can be used in parallel.

P.s. This window mode can also be started from the page of last running programs (swipe from the bottom of the screen up to the middle). There you just need to click on the corresponding icon near one of the last running applications.

In this case, it will not even be necessary to select the first program. A new window will appear right on the home screen, after which you can go to the same Telegram or YouTube to implement your mode usage scenarios.
