Unable to run two apps at the same time on the iPhone screen

Apple’s iPhone still does not support split-screen multitasking, a feature that has been standard on Android devices for years. In today’s fast-paced world, users often need to run two applications side-by-side to boost productivity—for example, browsing the web while taking notes or watching a video during a chat. The absence of this feature on the iPhone significantly limits user flexibility and efficiency. This limitation is especially problematic for apps like the calculator, where users frequently need to refer to data or other applications simultaneously, making the lack of split-screen a major inconvenience. Apple’s refusal to implement split-screen multitasking feels outdated and disregards the needs of power users who rely on real multitasking for work and daily life. It is high time Apple catches up with industry standards and provides iPhone users with true multitasking capabilities.

Apple is not here. Your post will only be seen by other users......just like you.....on this user-to-user support site.


You are not going to accomplish anything by telling other users what you think Apple should do.


Tell Apple directly what you think they should do here: Feedback - iPhone - Apple
