Multi-Window View for a Single App
You can create two task windows for the same app (such as Email and Notepad), and drag
images, text, or documents between the windows.
This feature is unavailable in some apps.
Before you get started, go to Settings > Accessibility features > Multi-Window, and make
sure that Multi-Window dock is enabled.
The following uses Email as an example.
To enable multi-window view for a single app:
1 On the home screen, open Email.
2 Swipe inward from the left or right edge of your phone and hold to bring up the Multi-
Window dock.
3 Touch and hold down on the Email app icon in the dock, and drag it on to the screen and
release, to open two windows within the app.
To drag images, text, or documents between a single app's split-screen windows:
• Drag an image: Select an image from one of the Email app's split-screen windows, and
drag it to the other window.
• Drag text: Touch and hold down on the text and select the desired portion, from one of the
Email app's split-screen windows, then touch and hold down on the text once again, and
drag it to the other window.
• Drag a document: Select a document from one of the Email app's split-screen windows,
and drag it to the other window.
Shrink an App Window or Split the Screen
In full-screen mode, you can shrink the app screen to turn it into a window, or create
a split screen with another app as well, at any time.
This feature is unavailable in some apps.
Before using this feature, go to Settings > System & updates > System navigation, and
select Gestures.
Shrink the app window
When an app is displayed in full-screen mode, swipe up from the bottom to
in the top
right corner of the screen, to display the app as a small window. The small
window will automatically display in Landscape mode, when you shrink a video or game app
in landscape mode.
Small windows in Landscape mode are only supported in certain apps.
