TL;DR

  • Gemini’s split-screen experience is coming to candybar phones.
  • It was previously limited to large-screen devices, like the Pixel Tablet and Pixel Fold.
  • A Telegram user alerted us about the feature, and we confirmed it’s working on our Pixel 9.

Last year, Gemini introduced a split-screen shortcut for large-screen Android devices such as foldables and tablets. The feature worked on Samsung devices, the Pixel Tablet, and the Pixel Fold. Now, Google appears to be bringing this capability to traditional “bar” phones as well.

Telegram user @Itachiuchiha23x spotted and alerted us about Gemini’s split-screen feature on their Pixel 8 Pro. Notably, they are using a recent beta version of the Google app (16.35.63.sa.arm64 beta), which ensures the feature works on their phone. We tested it on our Pixel 9 running the same Google app version and can confirm it’s starting to roll out.
