Android 16 made me fall back in love with split-screen and app pairs

With Android 15, Google introduced app pairs, or the ability to save two apps together as one icon, and launch them at the same time in split-screen mode. The feature was limited to tablets at first, but it soon expanded to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and other phones.

Initially, I thought I would use this all the time, but I soon realized that the issue was with the multi-window mode itself, and how it displayed a tiny part of both apps and made using either of them clunkier. So I forgot about app pairs for a while, until Android 16 came along, and with it, a significant improvement to multi-window and split-screen multitasking on Android.
