Using Multi Window - Samsung Galaxy S3 User Manual

Using Multi Window

This feature allows you to run multiple applications on the
current screen at the same time.
Note: Only applications found within the Multi window panel
can be active atop another current application on the
screen.
When launching applications that contain multimedia
files (music/video), audio from both files will be played
simultaneously.
Tip: You can use Multi window with your phone either upright
or rotated onto its side. You can also rotate your phone
with Multi window already running two applications.
