Am I the only one who forgot Nougat has Split Screen?

[bembol]

I've had my pixel XL for over a weeks and accidentally set it off a few minutes ago. LOL

Using it as we speak.

Use it and like it. I do think it would have been more advantageous with the XL which I do not have, but it's still great to be able to have it

One of the things the XL does better than the Note 7. It is more usable for me now.

I use it occasionally. Not incredibly useful.

Still waiting on my Pixel. Tried showing it off to my mother on her Nexus 9 and was met with a resounding "meh"... Almost made me wanna take back that Nexus 9 (I got it for her) and trade it for my old Nexus 7 (2013).

Yeah, I'm not that impressed when split screen/multi window on a small screen. Oh, I've used it a couple of times, bit it's not something that really adds to my experience in any meaningful way.

Is it at all possible to split screen two instances of Chrome? That'd be useful

Lol, me too. That's the thing about gimmicks. When phones like others (think samsung and all their features) have them we think there's something exciting, but as soon as they (other oems) makes it generally available to every consumer, we all only figure out that it actually was never worth the fuse. Its thesame with most other features (ff speakers, multi-window, IR etc).. That's why nailing the basics are very important and a reason the iphone is a constant hit.
Not to be misunderstood, I didn't say all features but most of them tbh (like 90%).
I do like a few like removable battery, Dark Mode, Moto Mods, Fm Radio though. Ironically, 3 of those are dead breeds (lol) and one is barely hanging by a foot.

I just realized I don't have it on my XL. I used it on my Note 7 but with a pen. Does it have to be turned on?

I use 2 screens for my PC all the time, work and home -- so I miss it when I am switching apps on the phone for certain functions. For example, I love being able to move data between apps without having to switch. It is not an everyday thing to be sure, but when I need it, it is so great to have.

Split screen is amazing with nougat on the LG V20 and really useful with the larger screen

Multi window is useful to the people that use it. I love the ability to drag and drop photos into my emails/messages(have other uses but won't expound on it in detail). Also the ir blaster. It's a life saver feature that many would benefit from if their phones were equipped with it and they knew the function. I notice people like to call things gimmicks because they may not use those things are see a need. At the end of the day it all comes down to opinion and I love my gimmicks. Other than that every phone would perform the same and that's just plain boring

There directions make no sense as their is no "multi window" option under device.

I forget all the time lol

I have no real interest in using it on my Pixel XL (just as I never cared to use the limited and proprietary Samsung version on the Note), but I do use it on my Pixel C. That's where it really shines: on a 10" tablet.

There's a pretty good writeup on the multi-window modes here: Android N's three multi-window modes, explained | Android Central

 

[Amb312]

I got it to work by long pressing on the screens and moving them. They seem really small though, so I probably won't use it much.

 

[Lilybell2]

I have to agree that this feature seems to better lend itself to a larger screen.

Just long press the recent apps square on the bottom right. That's it
