How To Run Multiple Apps On Same Screen - Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Learn how to use multi window to run multiple apps on same screen in your Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Any of the apps found within the Multi window panel can be run at the same time as a current on-screen app. Once multiple apps are running on the same screen, you can then choose to either swap their positions or maximize a desired app.

Note: Only applications found within the Multi-window panel can be active atop another current application on the screen.

When launching applications that contain multimedia files (music/video), audio from both files will be played simultaneously. In this example we will be launching both the Internet and Maps applications.

  • Launch an application such as Internet.
  • Activate the Multi window feature.
  • Tap the tab to display the apps panel.
  • Touch and hold the desired app, such as Maps, until it detaches from the panel.
  • In a single motion, drag it over the current app and drop the new Multi window app over either the top or bottom area of the current on-screen app.

Note: Once two applications are running, the device displays a split screen view containing both the initial app and the new Multi window app. Each application is still independent of the other.

To switch applications:

  • Tap the desired application area (top or bottom) that you would like to switch out with another application.
  • With the two applications shown in a split screen, tap the Border button to show the on-screen functions.
  • Locate and tap Switch application icon.
  • Scroll through the list of applications you already have open and tap the one you wish. The new application replaces the old one.

To switch windows: (swap the locations)

  • Tap the desired application area (top or bottom).
  • With the two applications shown in a split screen, tap the Border button to show the on-screen functions.
  • Locate and tap Switch window icon. The location of the current apps are switched.

To drag and drop content:

You can drag and drop text and images in selected applications.

  • With the two applications shown in a split screen, tap one of the two on-screen apps to select it.
  • Tap the Border bar to show the on-screen icons.
  • Locate and tap Drag and drop content icon.
  • Drag text or images from one app and drop them in the other app.
  • If an application does not support Drag and drop, then Not supported is displayed.

To close a selected application:

  • With the two applications shown in a split screen, tap one of the two on-screen apps to select it.
  • Tap the Border bar to show the on-screen icons.
  • Locate and tap Close application icon. The current app is closed and the remaining app is maximized.

To increase the size of a desired application window:

  • With the two applications shown in a split screen, locate the Border bar indicating the edge of the app window.
  • In a single motion, touch and hold the Border bar then drag it to resize the desired window.
