Multi-window mode, or split-screen mode, is one of the most unique features of Samsung's One UI. Designed to boost productivity, it's becoming better with each update. With Multi-window mode, you can open two apps side by side on the same screen. This is a great way to comparison shop online, watch a movie while you work, or keep an eye on your social media accounts while you're busy.
One of the best things about Multi-window mode is that it's so easy to use. Just tap and hold the Recent Apps button, then select the apps you want to open. You can resize them by dragging the bar in between them, and if you need more room, just swipe down from the top of the screen to hide the menu bar.
Multi-window mode is one of my favorite features of One UI.
Multi-window mode is a great way to get more done on your phone. With two apps open at the same time, you can easily switch back and forth between them to copy and paste text, compare documents, or just generally be more productive.
However, using a multi-window on a small screen device can be cumbersome. The screen real estate is limited, so it can be hard to find an app that's not already taking up most of the screen to open in multi-window mode. And if you do manage to find an app that will work in multi-window mode, it's often difficult to resize and move the windows around so that they're both comfortable to use.
Samsung has been trying to make multi-window mode easier to use with their new One UI interface.
Hide status and navigation bars in multi-window
You can enter full-screen mode and hide the status bar at the top and the navigation bar at the bottom when you use apps in multi-window mode. Doing so gives you more screen space to work with. To enter full-screen mode, drag down from the top of the screen until the status bar disappears. To hide the navigation bar, drag it up from the bottom of the screen until it disappears.
One UI is Samsung's new Android interface that was announced in November of last year and started appearing on devices in December. It's a revamp of Samsung's old TouchWiz interface, and it has been generally well-received. One of the key changes in One UI is that it tries to declutter the user interface and make it more streamlined. This is most evident in the recent beta release for the Galaxy S9, which hides certain UI elements when you're playing a game.
The result is very similar to what we've seen from Samsung's Game Launcher app. That app hides these same UI elements, like the navigation buttons and the notification bar, so that you can focus on the game you're playing. It's a great feature for gamers, and it looks like Samsung is bringing it to all of its devices with One UI.
One UI, Samsung's new user interface, comes with a lot of new features. One of these is the ability to enable full-screen mode for multi-window mode. To do this, first, open the Settings app. Then, access Advanced features, followed by Labs, and turn the Full-screen key on. This will allow you to have more screen real estate when using multiple windows at the same time.
In the latest Android 12 update, Samsung has introduced a new feature called "One UI". This update aims to provide a more user-friendly experience by making navigation and status bar visible while using multi-window. To access these bars, swipe up or down from the bottom or top edges of the screen.
