Android Authority’s recent code review suggests that Google is developing a new screen mode for Android 16, enabling split-screen multitasking with up to three apps on tablets.
This feature allows users to run three different apps simultaneously on different parts of the tablet screen, enhancing productivity. The functionality appears to be tailored for Android tablets due to the need for a larger display.
Inspired by OnePlus’ Open Canvas multitasking feature introduced with the OnePlus Open foldable in 2023, Google seems to be incorporating a similar approach. This feature allows three apps to run alongside each other on the screen.
Android 16 is anticipated to launch in the second quarter of 2025.
