Use the Floating Window

Open a floating window while gaming, and you can chat with a friend without missing a second of the action.



The figures are for reference only.

To open a floating window:

  • Swipe inward from the left or right edge of your device and hold to bring up the Multi-Window dock. Then touch any app in the dock to open it as a floating window.

  • Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to enter the Recent tasks screen, and touch the icon in the top-right corner of an app preview to open the app as a floating window.

To relocate the floating window:

Drag the bar at the top of the floating window to move the window to the desired location.

To resize the floating window:

Drag the bottom edge, two sides, or bottom corners of the floating window to resize it.

If you reduce the floating 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.

To minimise a floating window, perform any of the following:

  • Touch at the top of the floating window.

  • Touch and hold down on the bar at the top of the floating window, and quickly drag it to the left or right.

  • Touch and hold down on the bar at the top of the floating window, and drag it to the left or right screen edge.

To return to full-screen mode, perform any of the following:

  • Touch at the top of the floating window.

  • Touch and hold down on the bar at the top of the floating window, and quickly drag it upwards.

  • Touch and hold down on the bar at the top of the floating window, and drag it up to the status bar.

To close a floating window, perform any of the following:

  • Touch at the top of the floating window.

  • Touch and hold down on the bar at the top of the floating window, and quickly drag it downwards.

  • Touch and hold down on the bar at the top of the floating window, and drag it down to at the bottom of the screen.

To switch to Split-screen mode: If you are not on the home screen, touch and hold down on at the top of the floating window, and drag it to the left or right edge (in landscape mode) or the top or bottom edge (in portrait mode) of the screen.

Find and Switch Between Floating Windows for Apps

  1. Make sure that you have opened floating windows for multiple apps and minimised them into the floating ball.

  2. Touch the floating ball to display all floating window previews:

    • Browse through the floating window previews: Swipe up or down to find the floating window preview of the app you are looking for.

    • Display the floating window for an app: Touch the floating window preview of the app to display it in a floating window.

    • Close the floating window for an app: Touch on the floating window preview to close it.
