Use separate apps simultaneously on your Galaxy S25

You can open two apps simultaneously using the split screen feature. If there are two apps you use frequently, you can even pair them together.

1. Swipe left from the right side of the Home screen to open the Multi window tray.
2. Tap the grid at the bottom to view all of your current apps.
   
   
3. To open apps in split screen view, drag and drop the first app to the top or bottom portions of the screen. Then, repeat this process for the second app.
4. You can also tap Recents, tap an app’s icon at the top of the screen, and then tap either Open in split screen view or Open in pop-up view.
5. When you are in split screen view, you can use the blue dividers between the apps to adjust the size of the windows.
   
   
6. To create an app pair, tap Recents, and then swipe to the apps you wish to pair. Tap the app’s icon at the top of the screen, and then tap Add app pair. Then, select your desired location for the app pair.
7. To close an app in split screen view or pop-up view, tap the blue divider at the top of the app’s screen, and then tap the X icon.

Multi window can also be used with the S Pen on your S25 Ultra! For instance, you can cross-reference documents and emails in Microsoft Office apps, such as Outlook and PowerPoint, and then make notes and suggestions using your S Pen.

Media sounds from your preferred apps can be played using a different audio device.

1. Navigate to and open Settings, and then tap Sounds and vibration.
   
   
2. Tap Separate app sound, and then tap the switch next to Turn on now.
3. Tap Select when prompted, and then select the apps that will play on the separate audio device. Tap Add apps to add more if desired. Then, tap Back.
4. Next, select the audio device you want to use for the app. You can choose either Phone or Bluetooth device. However, the Bluetooth option may only be available when a Bluetooth device is connected to your phone.
   
   
5. Tap Back. Your selected apps’ sounds will play on the audio device you selected. To change the apps or audio device at a later time, navigate back to Settings, then tap Separate app sound, and then tap App or Audio device.
6. To control the volume for each app, press the Volume button. When pressed, a pop-up menu will display the volume level and current sound type. You can tap the three horizontal dots at the top of the menu to expand it, and then adjust the volume by dragging the desired sliders.
