To split the screen on a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, open the first app, go to Recents, open that app’s menu, choose the split-screen option, and select a second app. Samsung’s menu wording and layout can vary by software version, so use the option shown on your phone.

Disable swipe gestures that open Multi Window

If apps keep opening in split screen or a floating window unexpectedly, Multi Window swipe gestures may be triggering them. Go to Settings → Advanced features → Multi window and turn off the relevant swipe options. The available controls may vary with the installed software.
