Tip: This way you get two apps at the same time more easily on your Sony mobile phone

Multi-window switch

In short, multi-window switching means that you have more than one application on the screen side by side. In theory, Sony’s 21:9 screen format makes phones particularly suitable for this, but we shouldn’t overestimate the benefits, because even if both apps get a window of usable size, one or both windows will be covered. Once you open the phone keypad. However, there are quite a few applications where dual windows come in handy and you will definitely find them when you start trying them out.

One problem with the feature, which has been standard on Android since two versions of the system back, is that it’s difficult to activate. Sony has made it easier than most, including with its Side Sense menu It is a topic in itself.

Another way to access the function is through the multitasking menu, that is, where you can switch between different applications. Swipe up from the bottom and hold if you’re using Android’s gesture controls, tap the square button if you’re using the virtual buttons at the bottom of the screen.

On this page you have a button for multi-window switching. If you hit it, you can simply select two apps that will then share the screen space.

In the multiplayer menu, you’ll also find another way to share your screen, through popups. This button is next to the multi-window toggle button. To use this feature, scroll to the app you want to launch in the multiplayer list and then tap the pop-up button. The app will then appear in a floating window that you can move around on the screen while another app is running in the background. Perfect, for example, to operate the calculator when you have the document in numbers on your mobile phone.
