Thanks to the company Google, it is currently possible to open two applications at the same time on Android phones. This process is commonly known as split screen mode.

Method 1: drag and drop
This method consists of the following:
- Open applications in question
- Then a click the app selector icon (usually a square located in the lower left area of the navigation bar).
- Then a select the first application e drag it at the top of the screen, this splits the screen.
- Then a click on the second app and it will automatically be placed in the lower half of the screen.
- This way you can use the two applications at the same time.
Method 2: long touch
This second split screen technique is simpler than the one explained above. To do this, you just have to open application and then tap on the application switch icon, you will immediately notice that the main app is minimized taking up half of the upper screen, while all the applications you have open appear on the lower screen.
So you have to press on the other application of interest to you and will quickly take up half the screen. In this way, you can now use split screen mode.
