I have a Razr flip phone that I often use folded halfway (laptop style) and watch videos on the top half while I do other things.

Certain video apps center the content across both halves of the screen and I have to activate split screen and put a random app on the bottom half of the screen.

Long story short, is there a way to split screen only 1 app to only the top half of the screen? I’ve tried to search for something but I’m coming up empty.

    What kind of phone are you using? My Samsung has that ‘freeform’ option but it’s called pop-up.

    My wife’s pixel 6a only has split screen, and that forces 2 apps.

      How can all these Android versions have this, meanwhile AOSP (Lineage, GrapheneOS,…) have nothing…

      Edit: okay I found this feature, but it crashes my damn Launcher

        there’s an option for freeform windows in AOSP (tested on Pixel 7), but it’s hidden in developer options

            yes, you open apps like the first level comment showed

              Thanks, tried it but on GraphenOS it simply crashes the launcher. Freeform works but is a bit useless currently

                oh that’s too bad, it works pretty good on AOSP

        I find that custom roms are quite disappointing feature wise these days
