Google aims to enhance split-screen apps on mobile, potentially arriving in Android 14

While some may argue that split-screen saving already exists on Android, it was not available on the base version of Android OS or on Pixel devices. Samsung, for example, introduced its own version of App Pairs on Galaxy phones in 2017, allowing users to save app pairings from the beginning. However, Pixel devices have been lagging behind in this regard, making this update a much-needed addition for Google’s smartphone users.

In addition to the App Pair update, a new multitasking feature has been discovered in the latest Android 14 beta. Industry leaker Nail Sadykov found that Android 14 will enable users to use system navigation while dragging and dropping items. This means that users will be able to effortlessly transfer photos or text from one app to another without the need for copying and pasting. While this feature is not groundbreaking and is already available on other smartphones, its inclusion in Android 14 will enhance the overall user experience.
