Shrink an App Window or Split the Screen

In full-screen mode, you can shrink the app screen to turn it into a floating window, or create a split screen with another app as well, at any time.

This feature is unavailable in some apps.

Before using this feature, go to Settings > System & updates > System navigation , and select Gestures.

Shrink the app window

When an app is displayed in full-screen mode, swipe up from the bottom to in the top right corner of the screen, to display the app as a small floating window. The small floating window will automatically display in Landscape mode, when you shrink a video or game app in landscape mode.

Small floating windows in Landscape mode are only supported in certain apps.

The figures are for reference only.

You can try the following:

To minimize a floating window, hold down on the window, and drag it to the left or right edge of the screen, or quickly drag it to the left or right.
To close a floating window, hold down on the window, drag it to at the bottom of the screen, or quickly drag it downwards.
To open in full-screen mode, hold down on the window, drag it to the top of the screen, or quickly drag it upwards.
To enlarge the small floating window, tap on it.

If you drag the bottom edge, two sides, or bottom corners of the standard-sized floating window to reduce the window to the smallest possible size, and then release the window, it will automatically shrink into a small floating window that remains fixed to the upper right corner of the screen.

Split the screen

When an app is displayed in full-screen mode, swipe up from the bottom to or in the top left corner of the screen.
Then open another split-screen-capable app to display both apps in split-screen mode.
