The feature we're talking about is App Pair, and as Samsung announced back at the Note 8 event, this allows you to create one icon on your home screen or app drawer on the Note 8 for simultaneously opening two apps at once in split-screen with just a single tap.
It's a really great idea for being able to quickly jump into two apps that you often use at the same time, and thanks to developer Francisco Barroso, you can now get similar functionality on any Android device. After downloading the app and granting accessibility options to it, you'll be able to then create a set of two apps to open at once by adding the "Create split-screen shortcut" widget (found under Split-Screen Creator) to your home screen.
Tapping on the widget briefly shows the recent apps page as if you were manually opening up both applications yourself, and it's likely that Split-Screen Creator is simply automating these taps for you in order to make everything work.
Split-Screen Creator is free to download from the Google Play Store, and if you want to support Francisco's development of it, you can pay for the Pro version for $0.99 and get custom shortcut icons, no ads, and the ability to try new features before they're released to the free version.
