how to split screen? - andrew907 - 08-07-2022

I am comfortably set up with a Pinephone running Mobian and a Bluetooth keyboard, but it would sure be nice to be able to see two apps at the same time like in Ubuntu Touch or even in Android.

How do I do that?

Currently there is not official way for doing that but you can try in terminal:
gsettings set sm.puri.phoc auto-maximize false

If I remember correctly that command allows the "windowed mode" similar as in Ubuntu Touch Smile

Not going to be perfect on phones screen but you can try and see
