You told us: Here’s how often you use split-view multitasking
July 19, 2025
Split-view multitasking has been available onAndroid phonesfor years now, allowing you to run two apps on-screen at once. This feature typically splits the screen in half, with an app occupying each half of the display (as seen above).
We wanted to know how often people actually use this feature though — if indeed they use it at all. We posed this question last week and here’s how you voted.
How often do you use split-view multitasking?
Over 5,000 votes were tallied in this poll after it was posted on August 20, giving us a huge sample size to work with. And it turns out that the single biggest choice was “I’ve never used it,” with almost 28% of respondents voting this way. Some of the reader comments suggest that activating this feature isn’t exactly straightforward, or that pop-up windows are a better alternative in some cases.
Otherwise, it seems like there’s a relatively even split among the rest of the options. Just under 13% of readers say they use split-view multitasking every day, 15% say they use it every week, and 17% say they use the feature once or twice a month. Finally, 14% say they use the feature every few months, and 14% of respondents indicate that they’ve used the feature once a year.
Readers note that split-view multitasking works well when using a chat app, watching videos, or for productivity-related reasons.
