Google is testing a new desktop windowing feature on Android tablets that lets you resize and reposition apps on your screen without closing any of them.
Google is testing a new feature for Android tablets that will let you resize apps freely and arrange them on your screen at will, making it easier to juggle multiple tasks. The “desktop windowing” feature is now available as a developer preview, and for apps that support it, you could even have more than one instance open. Currently, apps on Android tablets open in full-screen by default.
Samsung has also offered its DeX experience for years, bringing desktop-like windows management to Android apps on Galaxy phones and tablets. Once the feature is rolled out to everyone, you can turn it on by pressing and holding the window handle at the top of an app’s screen. If you have a keyboard attached, you can also use the shortcut meta key + Ctrl + Down to activate desktop mode.
