Realme devices, like many Android phones, offer split-screen and floating window functionality, although the exact method might vary slightly depending on the Realme UI version. Here’s a general guide, and some troubleshooting if it doesn’t work as expected:
Split-Screen Mode:
1. Open the first app: Launch the app you want to have on one side of the screen.
2. Access Recent Apps: Typically, you do this by swiping up from the bottom of the screen and holding, or using the recent apps button (a square icon) if your phone has one.
3. Select the second app: In the recent apps view, you’ll see thumbnails of your recently used apps. Find the second app you want to use in split-screen mode.
4. Enable Split Screen: There should be an icon on the app’s thumbnail (often a split-screen symbol itself). Tap this icon to activate split-screen mode. Alternatively, some Realme UI versions allow you to long-press the app’s thumbnail and select “Split Screen” from the options.
5. Resize and Adjust: Once in split-screen mode, you can usually adjust the size of each app window by dragging the divider line between them.
Floating Windows (Mini Windows/App Bubbles):
The method for enabling floating windows varies depending on the app and the Realme UI version. Not all apps support this feature.
1. Long Press the Recent Apps Icon: In some versions of Realme UI, long-pressing the recent apps button or icon will allow you to select apps to open in a floating window.
2. Check App-Specific Options: Some apps might offer a floating window option within their settings. Look for options like “Pop-up view,” “Floating window,” or similar terminology. For example, Messenger often has a floating window option.
3. Third-Party Apps: If your Realme phone doesn’t natively support floating windows for a specific app, third-party apps from the Google Play Store may offer this functionality. However, be cautious when downloading and using these apps.
Troubleshooting:
* Outdated Software: Ensure your Realme phone is running the latest version of Realme UI. System updates often include improvements and bug fixes that can affect these features. Go to Settings > Software Update to check for updates.
* App Compatibility: Not all apps support split-screen or floating windows. Some apps might have restrictions on this functionality due to their design or limitations.
* Restart Your Phone: A simple restart can sometimes resolve minor software glitches that might be interfering with these features.
* Check Settings: Look within the Realme UI settings (possibly under “System,” “Display,” or “Apps”) for any options related to split-screen or floating windows. There might be settings to enable or disable these features or to customize their behavior.
* Factory Reset (Last Resort): If none of the above steps work, a factory reset (after backing up your data) could resolve more serious software problems. However, this should be a last resort.
If you’re still having trouble, providing the exact Realme model number and the Realme UI version will help in getting more specific instructions. Screenshots of what you’re seeing on your phone would also be very helpful.
