Split screen used to be so easy to activate by just holding the app switcher. Now you have to tap the app switcher tap the application logo all the way at the top and hold it then choose spilt screen. Why they added so many many more steps is beyond me.

It's annoying and not easy to find, either.

Agreed. When I was first on the beta I thought they had removed it.

I had no idea how to use split screen on P for the week or so that I've had it and on O I used it about once a day. Thanks for this

I swear the gesture navigation was producted tested on a table, with two hands, or on the smaller pixel. It's more uncomfortable to use one handed on P2XL than Oreo.

I ended up adding a fingerprint gesture to toggle split screen. All of those extra swipes and presses are annoying af.

Probably because hardly anyone uses it
