Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and hold, or tap the square Recent Apps button. It depends on your navigation style.
Find the first app in the Recent Apps overview.
Tap the app icon above the app preview.
Select the 'Split screen' option.
The first app will appear at the top of the screen.

Managing the Split Screen
Adjust the size: There's a black divider line between the two apps. You can adjust the size of each app window by dragging this line up or down.
Swapping apps: There's usually a button on the divider line that swaps the top and bottom apps.
Exit Split Screen: To exit split-screen mode, drag the divider line to the top or bottom of the screen, depending on which app you want to keep open.
Compatibility and things to note:
Not all apps support split-screen mode. Some apps may display a message that they are not compatible with it.
The exact steps and interface may vary slightly depending on your Android version and device manufacturer.
The overall experience also depends on the screen size. Larger screens naturally provide a better split-screen experience.
