Split Screen Multitasking on iPhone - is it REALLY WORTH IT ?

[@NateDizzle984]

True multitasking is a must. Apple is so far behind in the game on key features like this. I've been an Android person from Day one and gave Apple a try with 14 Pro Max. This is one of most missed features for me. This should be a software update for apple and not an app

[@homepage92]

True i am at your same boat, the 14 pro max is my first iphone and i coming from an old xiaomi mi a3 wich it had it, multitasking is perfect for work.

[@David-gs9vw]

@ N_Dizzle_L 💯 facts

[@Truth_Seeker1]

Actually they aren’t the iPad can do it. It’s obvious phones are small so Apple don’t want to put it on a small device.

[@malikhaider6260]

Bro I switched from the Note 20 Ultra to the 13 pro max🤦🏽 bro this ain’t it.

Split screen is an absolute must. It drives me absolutely crazy. How Apple seem to lag so far behind on some fantastic features available on android it’s almost like they do it on purpose to drive us crazy

[@annieyesiam2758]

they do do it on purpose sadly

[@everydaydose7779]

if they ever do it that would hurt their philosophy of running below 5000mah battery and running 6gb rams 😂

[@LyraniaLothar]

​@@everydaydose7779 if battery life is an issue then they wouldn't leave always screen on by default.

[@4ranklin1]

I use the split screen feature to watch/listen to video podcasts on youtube while running my maps navigation on the bottom while driving. It's nice to be able to glance at the video when they're referencing something during the audio while also keeping the navigation running. The video only takes up about a third of the screen on top so the lower two thirds makes the navigation more useable.

[@philliptownsend2829]

My man, you’re watching KZbin while you’re driving? 😂

[@flightmizzarc]

Dude I think the new iOS stopped this 😔

[@flightmizzarc]

@@philliptownsend2829yes sir I do it as well I listen to podcasts and run gps at same time or at least I did

[@l.aguiar5183]

This is the kind of feature that maybe isn't used very often, but is great to have and missed if you don't. I use it, for example, to open a bank statement and the calculator together, to add values. I also use it in meetings, to open zoom and my notes at the same time. Among other uses. It's a useful feature, yes, and it's a shame Apple doesn't have it, especially on the larger screen iPhones.

[@shea5287]

I use it every day

[@NunoFilipe99]

​@@shea5287 same

[@theunboxingchannel885]

An option to do so would be nice. It may be practical for some people! For example, using a calculator and a spreadsheet at the same time.

[@AngelEditss]

id love a proper split screen feature, probably something close to what samsung does. I came from an S22U to a 14 Pro Max a few weeks ago and that's definitely something I'd like to have on this phone!

[@shalomchrist3283]

I’ve gone through the video multiple times. You never stated the app you used for the split screen?!

[@joed180]

Lol I just moved to a 14 Pro Max bc I had to for work, from a Galaxy S22 Ultra. I cannot believe this thing can’t even split screen lol.

[@MrFoxpod]

For anyone wondering if it hasn’t been posted already it’s called “split screen dual window” in the App Store.

[@mujtabahasan97]

I’ve used it in Galaxy S3, and it was the best feature back then. If this feature came again, I’ll be so happy for it.

[@sirwilliam0524]

The Galaxy S3 stopped receiving OS updates by the time Samsung introduced split screen with the S8, so maybe you meant S8? And what do you mean "if this feature came again"? It hasn't gone anywhere - it's always been available since its inception.

[@notchetan]

It might not be practical for all users but the ability and the choice to do so or not is what we're asking Apple to provide for many years.

[@ra1469]

This is the first thing i searched for if apple has this feature.. thought of going apple after seeing watch ultra but i will wait a bit... I love the split screen for watching/reading+browsing amazon or having stop watch+workout app open same time... The uploaders reason for not liking the split screen didnt really make sense.

[@sauravmisraz]

Wish they add constant numeric row on keyboard

[@markdarc0448]

You can probably do that with an alternate keyboard

[@sauravmisraz]

@@markdarc0448 using swiftkey for ages, but it will be good to have in native keyboard.

[@LyraniaLothar]

2:10 that's some hard copium there buddy. If iOS had this and not android you'd be praising this feature.

[@smulemaster]

You don't find it practical yet because you haven't used it for long time and you're not used to having this feature on your phone. But if you are a person who always need to be productive, this is a must feature. Regardless of the division of screen real estate multi tasking is still a multi tasking. Imagine having expense report saved in your gallery and need to compute using a calculator. Multitasking comes in handy. Or maybe need to do side by side comparison of 2 pdf files. One you can open with adobe pdf reader and one with another pdf reading app. Multitasking comes in handy. There are multiple practical use of this than browsing your social medias at a time. Obviously, multitasking using 2 social medias at a time is not the main function of this feature. This feature is a necessity for productivity more than social media consumption

[@d33bo67]

who cares if YOU don’t find the need. if I and everyone else can think of a list of uses and you can’t even think of one, what does that say about you

[@PanewsONE]

On my android i mainly used calculator and notes in split screen and found it very useful in dozens of occasions

[@RusticRidgeCustomSigns]

Being an NWS weather spotter, the split screen will be very useful when storm chasing by having my radar app and navigation app open in a split screen will increase safety and storm interception immensely.

[@legendarylava8775]

If a feature affected my safety to such a degree id jump ship immediately. Danger doesnt wait until after you prepared, can happen anytime.

[@Vivaanstech]

Oh btw I was just searching split screen on iPhone and then your vid came out :)

[@jonah11111]

Realizing that this was a thing is the main decider in me not going back to iphone, the app showed in this video only gives a rough idea, because it wastes too much screen, but picture in picture can be so helpful in so many cases

[@joeyjoey7972]

split screen on android is very handy, its usually specfic apps that you multitask.

[@joshua476]

I have this on my Samsung and it’s awesome

[@dondeesta_leomessi7]

I had a samsung i can confirm that i never used it and don’t think that you will too

[@Ded-Ede]

I want the ability to play multiple/2 audio sources simultaneously. The podcast app and the music app or Spotify playing audio without stopping each other. I’d be great if I could bed the music under the podcast audio. Currently, it’s possible to be on the phone while listening to music in the background so the iPhone iOS is capable of playing to audio sources at the same time, Apple just needs to make it possible with any apps to play two audio sources at the same time

[@FrankieBagz]

Samsung's pin to screen is like one of the best features i use it all the time

[@Enginerosemusic]

This is by far the best feature for a productive person common what are you using your phone for, a lot task can be achieved with Multi tasking

[@4kmentality]

I feel like that app is what makes it feel clunky and takes up more of the screen than a built in multitasking feature would. Apple would optimize it a lot better in my opinion. I could see it working great even on a regular 14 pro

[@redsoxman31]

Well whats the name of the app? Why wouldn’t you bring it up during the video?

[@MuhammadImran93]

Multitasking split screen is a must on any device. It helps a lot when trying to cross-referencing/checking between apps.

[@roka4hell]

2 apps in the same time helps a lot no mater the brand or OS 😊

[@lolok0808]

Frrrr

[@kub1naFL]

I would like apple to separate ring tone/ text tone and media volumes separate.

[@Savage_Money536]

We need split screen I love iPhone I’m on 14 pro max i was an android user for years but switched to iPhone and never went back but I must admit there are a few features that would make the iPhone truly at the top of its game 💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿plz bring split screen

[@FlyingRedTailHawk]

I don't think that it would be bad. It may have limits but, it depends on what Apple allows it to be used for. Some people may like it and some may not.

[@advos1x]

screen is still too small for that extra functionality keep that on ipads lol

[@Alex-hv3ir]

Yes and no. Having a float window could be nice and useful, like PiP but with apps? Maybe a safari tab with some info or calculator on a word document.

[@j.a.y1084]

You could be studying a pdf and looking at solutions for it too

[@Cityoftheblues]

There are many uses to split screen, yes i never used it much but when you need it, its the best

[@evangelinenatividad2981]

How come android has these features but iPhones having iOS 17 only has this features...

[@jaziraarinova]

Its very practical if you r driving, listening to you or anyone on youtube and having map on the other half of the screen. That’s the only reason I need it

[@salmann3874]

Split screen multitasking and download torrent support is the only update I have been waiting for years... 🥺

[@mr.macias2109]

Well, it’s about fucking time androids been doing that shit for years😅😅

[@tonyreyes3294]

iPhone needs split screen Samsung 100 times better

[@JosephJoeyBiancaniello2909]

For example I would use it to check for song's lyrics while I listen to a song on KZbin or maybe having a video in the "background", while I text on WhatsApp. I used to find it very useful when I had a Samsung some years ago and I would really like this feature to come to iPhones as well 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@xeon2k8]

most videos can be played in PIP so basically fits your use case.

[@rozaliya3336]

***HOW DO I DO SPLIT SCREEN WITH MY IHPONE 14 PRO MAX, WITH THAT APP WITH APPS, LIKE NOTES/AND SEEING A PHOTO AT THE SAME TIME TO TRANSLATE WHAT THE PHOTO SAYS??? Uhg lol sorry it’s all in caps trying to stand out lol to get it answered thanks

[@eduaardofernandez4859]

Having the split screen and other multitasking capabilities is the reason I don't leave samsung as my go to phone brand

[@fredbosch540]

Well, That's a good app to compare websites and see the specs

[@joshuaortega546]

Sorry but as a person that travels a lot multitasking on my phone is very important especially when filling forms on your phone

[@S0mewhat_Damaged]

Having the option to have splitscreen > not having it. I often use a banking app that requires I go to a 2FA App and having them both open would be hugely beneficial. That's just one example. I wouldn't use it for two social media apps as featured here, but I could see me using it in Notes Apps alongside others, or google maps used along side imessage etc.

[@jackwong64]

2fa app has 1 press copy, I don't see I would use split screen in this case. I don't even use split screen on an iPad pro 11".

[@xeon2k8]

so you want splitscreen for copy pasting one number from another app. Amazing.

[@S0mewhat_Damaged]

@@xeon2k8 For SOME usage yep, would be handy. But if you read my comment you’d see some of the other uses too. Options are great. 😊

[@dcjohn3813]

It’s a thing of “having it and not needing us better than needing it and not having it. That’s where android beats Apple.

One of the things I missed after switching from my galaxy note 10 to iPhone 13 is multitasking feature. The other one is the back gesture. Iphones are for old people.

[@RaghavVijay]

Great app but honestly I see that split screen multiple tasking doesn’t actually seem to work well on the iPhone ,you can still only do one thing at a time and it’s confusing at times!.Maybe  will implement it better if they ever do buy for now I don’t really see the great benefits!:.

[@Dblx1]

Doesn't matter too much.

[@thelegendarycritique40]

Hmmm i dont think split screen is worth it on iPhone

[@missjei-lc3qs]

for someone who loves to watch or listen to music on KZbin while reading on browser, multitasking is a must. i also play multiple accounts on a certain game and multitasking is really helpful for that. this is the only downgrade i experienced when switching to iphone. but the rest are top ❤️

[@koshfu]

I guess not allowing split screen on iphone is a way to push people to buy an ipad on top of their iphone

[@giorgigvinianidze2824]

Literally the only reason I'm not buying another Iphone until they add multitasking, maybe you don't find it useful but I have gotten used to having G-maps and another app weather it's KZbin, Spotify or anything else while commuting

[@JamesWharton-by4jo]

The split screen is very use-full in putting the the dictionary above and the Spanish below. I use it almost daily on my Samsung. I am reading King in Spanish.

[@hawkeye3721]

Thanks for sharing but I wouldn’t want this. Maybe on the iPad yes but not on the iPhone. I like it when it’s in KZbin video but not fir safari /social media like tasks.

[@BooStarr888]

As a apple user I don’t know how they are still competing with android at all.

[@izzyc.4746]

[@xaviergroenewaldt8252]

I normally use my calculator with my budget app at the same time. Sometimes, i watch a video while texting or messaging.

[@debishvebishwish4839]

I don’t really use this feature when it was on Android, but I really loves using multiple monitors for my computers, I guess it’s because I feel better switching tabs but that’s my personal preference

[@CoolShades18]

If Apple get multitasking I’ll never go back to android

[@mauritja00]

Sometimes it's just easier to do a task while having multiple apps open instead of switching, it may not be for everyone but I don't understand why is apple so adamant in not opening up the option, people that don't use this feature won't be affected and people that do will be happy customers, it just doesn't make sense

[@HimDead1228]

I just want my gps going in the corner while watching KZbin 😢

[@frankelyespinal100]

Apple need to add assessability’s to add your license or state ID in your wallet for the US. I’ve been waiting for this feature for a long time.🥺🥺🥺

[@redsoxman31]

And just because you don’t find it useful doesn’t mean others wont

Well, who said multi tasking was running two social media platforms at once? That doesn’t make sense.

I have been waiting for Apple to do even a simple split screen so I can look at my banking app and use the calculator at the same time!! Is that too much to ask?

[@CameronLestagez]

i need to be able to use my calculator while i’m in other apps, or even use gps while i’m on youtube and etc
