Google will update split screen mode on Android 12

Google is working on improving split screen functionality for Android 12. Currently, you can use two apps at the same time on split screen and split apps on top and below. Google is working on improving it with an updated feature called App Pairs.

According to a report from 9to5Google, Google plans to completely update the split screen in Android 12. The new Android 12 feature groups two apps into one task, the report added. This differs from the current split screen where one app is added to another. Basically, your two most recent apps are paired and you can more easily switch to one app or go back to your previous pair.
