Here's Why I'm Done Switching Between Apps on My Samsung Devices

Summary
Samsung’s multi-window feature enables users to multitask by allowing them to use split-screen, open apps in a floating window, and save frequently used apps as pairs for easy access.
This feature is ideal for taking notes when browsing the internet or texting while watching a YouTube video, all without having to switch between apps.
To use the recent apps menu, tap the recent button on your Samsung phone, select the first app’s icon and choose Open in split-screen view, then select the second app.
Samsung’s Pop-up view allows users to open more than two apps at once, offering flexibility and convenience, especially when keeping an app accessible regardless of what app is currently in use.
To create an app pair, open two apps in a split screen and tap the three-dots menu in the middle.
Then, select the App pair icon, and choose where you want to save it for quick access, such as the Apps edge panel or Home screen.
App combinations can include YouTube/Spotify and Stopwatch for workouts, Slack and Asana for productivity, Contacts and Notes for calls, and Spotify/YT Music with Maps for driving.
