You can use split view with Google Chrome on Android by using your device’s built-in split-screen feature.
First, open Chrome and make sure you have at least one webpage open. Then open your device’s Recent Apps screen (app switcher).
Find Chrome in the list, then tap and hold the Chrome app icon or tap the menu option (depending on your device). Select Split screen or Open in split screen view.
Chrome will move to one half of the screen. Next, choose another app (or another Chrome window if supported) to fill the other half.
Once split view is active, you can browse in Chrome while using another app at the same time. You can also adjust the divider between the two apps to resize each window.
If your device supports it, you can open multiple Chrome tabs and drag them into split view for side-by-side browsing, although this feature may vary by device and Android version.
To exit split view, drag the divider all the way to the top or bottom, or return to the recent apps screen and close one app.
In summary, Chrome on Android supports multitasking through your device’s split-screen feature, allowing you to use Chrome alongside another app for improved productivity.
