That&#8217;s based on information about the new feature, viewed by 9to5Google. According to the source, Google&#8217;s App Pairs will be similar to solutions introduced by companies such as Samsung and Microsoft. Namely, it will allow users to pair two apps together, to be launched simultaneously in a split-screen view.<br \/>\nWhat do App Pairs actually do in Android 12?<br \/>\nMore specifically, the system will allow users to set up &#8222;tasks&#8221; by denoting apps that should be viewed in pairs. So, the overall split-screen UI and methods won&#8217;t necessarily change.<br \/>\nAs the system is currently set up in Android 11, users can launch two apps in split-screen by opening an app and then navigating to the Recent Apps screen. From there, users have to tap the icon at the top of the app&#8217;s preview window. Then they need to select the &#8222;Split screen&#8221; option. The app that&#8217;s been selected is forced to the top of the screen and then users can freely open a new app or choose a previously opened up to occupy the lower segment.<br \/>\nWith the new system, that&#8217;s likely to stay in place. Or, at the very most, the process will be iterated forward so that it&#8217;s more intuitive. But users will also have the option to create a pair. That pair will remain in the Recent Apps screen just like a standalone app would. So users can navigate to and away from the pair.<br \/>\nAt least for as long as it&#8217;s in their Recent Apps screen. It isn&#8217;t immediately clear whether those tasks will eventually evolve into full-blown pairings as can be accomplished on Samsung devices. Users on those handsets can set those pairs, whether in the side-bar\/edge menu or elsewhere, to launch at any time. Google could potentially go that route too but that doesn&#8217;t appear to be where it is initially heading with its App Pairs feature.<br \/>\nConversely, it&#8217;s also not immediately clear whether multiple App Pairs can be created or if this will be a Pixel-exclusive, at least initially.<br \/>\nWhen is Android 12 coming, anyway?<br \/>\nNow, Android 11 was initially launched as a developer preview in February of last year. So the time is fast-approaching for Android 12 to do the same. That&#8217;s if Google opts to keep a similar schedule this time around. If so, Android 12 should be released as a developer preview within the next several weeks.<br \/>\nFrom there, it should only be a few months before the preview is available for a wider audience on select devices. And only a few months from there before it&#8217;s available in a stable format, alongside a number of other new features. Including a few that should make password and network management even better.<br \/>\nThe post Android 12 App Pairs Will Take Your Multitasking To A New Level appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Android-11-pre-12-split-screen-for-app-pairs-article-and-others-DG-AH-2021.jpg\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Android 12 will reportedly deliver a new take on split-screen multitasking with a feature called App Pairs.
