How to Use Floating Windows on Android (Pop-Up View Explained)
Android has a built-in floating window / pop-up view feature that lets you open apps in a small resizable window on top of other apps.
In this video, I show how to use floating windows on Android, including:
• How to enable Pop-Up View
• How to open an app in a floating window
• Resizing, moving, and minimizing floating apps
• How this differs from split screen
This feature is especially useful for multitasking — like replying to messages while watching a video or browsing.
Note: The feature may be labeled Pop-Up View, Floating Window, or Smart Pop-Up View depending on your Android version and device.
