    You can just swipe back and forth, whats the issue they are trying to solve?

      Sometimes you need to work in 2 apps simultaneously. Switching is not the same at all.

      Android, unlike iOS, actually runs apps simultaneously.

      Using a pass code for an app/website that won’t allow copy/paste, for example. I don’t use it a lot, but occasionally it can be useful to have maps and media player going together. Or 2 mapping apps.

        True. Splitscreen is also the only option I know to watch videos and commenting on lemmy. At least for apps that don’t support floating windows.
