Split Screen Not Working - Note 8

[Rozzyee]

Hi

I can't seem to turn on split screen at all. The option used to be there when you pressed the middle button and could click on the two lines for any open apps that supported the functionality.

I have searched in settings:

"Split"

"Multi"

"Dual"

"Screen"

And nothing comes up for the the split screen options which makes me feel like the option has disappeared?

Can anyone advise?

I have a note 8 smartphone I don't have the option for split screen anymore. I opened two apps then hit home button, then hit recents. all the recent apps are there but there NO option to open in split screen. what happened to it?

Does not work on my note 8 anymore. Only work on the edge screen if two apps are already paired.

You need to click the apps icon.

I included information to make every app split screen or usable in pop up view in this post:

Click the image used to open your app from the home screen

Then you should have similar options listed

It's there.  Was just changed to another way to get to it.  On the same thread, there are most that show you how to do it.

It's not there. this feature is missing in my note 8 since One UI came a year back something. Can anyone provide screenshots or ways to go to a split screen without the paired app on edge screen?

Thank you

You are doing everything right.  When selecting recent apps button, press on the icon of the app you wish to split and a menu will appear.  Select split screen and that should work for you. Hope this is helpful.

There are a few options in good lock that might help
