The Binance App supports native split-screen multitasking on Android 7.0+ and iOS 13+. Typical scenarios include watching K-lines on the top half and order books on the bottom half, or charts on the left and trading on the right on an iPad. The way to activate split screen varies by system and manufacturer: native Android allows long-pressing the recent tasks button, Samsung features the Edge Panel for quick split screen, and brands like Xiaomi, Huawei, and OPPO offer proprietary features like "Small Window Mode" or "Parallel Vision." To experience the latest multitasking UI, it is recommended to download version 2.86.3+ from the Binance Official Website or click Binance Official APP to get the APK. Below is a detailed guide on split-screen configuration and best practices by device type.
1. Native Android Split Screen
Android 7.0 introduced official multi-window APIs, which the Binance App has fully adapted to.
Standard Split Screen Operation
- Open the Binance App (making it the first window).
- Tap the "Recent Tasks" button at the bottom.
- Long-press the icon at the top of the Binance card → Select "Split Screen."
- The top half of the screen will be fixed to the Binance App.
- Select a second app (e.g., browser, Telegram) from recent tasks for the bottom half.
- Drag the divider in the middle to adjust the top-to-bottom ratio.
Interface Adaptation in Split Screen
| Ratio (Top:Bottom) | Binance Interface Adjustment |
|---|---|
| 60:40 (Binance on top) | Full K-line display + simplified order book. |
| 50:50 | K-line compressed, bottom toolbar switches to icons. |
| 40:60 (Binance on bottom) | Switches to compact mode, some buttons collapsed. |
Recommended Ratio: 50:50 is the most balanced, allowing for both full K-line viewing and operation of the app below.
Gestures in Split Screen
- Two-finger zooming on K-lines remains functional.
- Side-swipe back gestures may be intercepted by the system in split-screen mode; use the top back arrow instead.
- Long-press multi-select gestures for the coin list may fail on some models.
2. Samsung Galaxy Exclusive Split Screen
Samsung's One UI multi-window features are more powerful than native Android.
Edge Panel Quick Split Screen
- System Settings → Display → Edge Panel → Enable.
- Add Binance to the App Pair in the Edge Panel.
- Swipe out the Edge Panel from the right side → Tap the App Pair → Both apps launch in split screen simultaneously.
Recommended App Pair Combinations
- Binance + Telegram (Watching charts + discussion groups).
- Binance + Browser (Trading + checking news).
- Binance + Calculator (Manual position calculation).
- Binance + Notes (Recording trading logs).
Three-Window Mode (Galaxy S20 Ultra / Z Fold)
The Fold series supports three windows simultaneously:
- Main window: Binance K-lines.
- Sub-window 1: Binance Order page.
- Sub-window 2: Telegram.
This is equivalent to running two instances of the Binance App on the same device, which is ideal for futures traders.
3. MIUI Small Window Mode
Xiaomi's Small Window Mode is more flexible than split screen, turning the Binance App into a draggable floating window.
How to Operate
- Open the Binance App.
- Swipe up from the bottom to enter Recent Tasks.
- Swipe down on the Binance card → Select "Small Window."
- The Binance App becomes a small window similar to iPhone's Picture-in-Picture.
- You can drag it anywhere and resize it.
- Double-tap the small window to return to full screen.
Usage Scenarios for Small Window
- Watching charts while gaming: Keep the small window in the top right to show real-time BTC prices.
- Checking prices while watching videos: WeChat or TikTok in full screen, Binance in a small window.
- Sneak peeks during meetings: Shrink the small window to a corner of the screen.
Small Window Sizes
Adjustable ratios for Small Window:
- Minimum: 240x180 dp (about a 1-inch square).
- Default: 480x360 dp.
- Maximum: Half-screen size (720x1280 dp).
4. Huawei / Honor Parallel Vision
EMUI / HarmonyOS Parallel Vision is optimized for split-column landscape viewing, similar to iPad's Split View.
Enabling Parallel Vision
- System Settings → Apps & Services → App Settings → Parallel Vision.
- Turn on Global Parallel Vision.
- In the app list, set Binance to "Support Parallel Vision."
- Open the Binance App in landscape mode; it will automatically switch to a dual-column layout.
Dual-Column Layout
- Left column: Coin list / Favorites.
- Right column: Details of the selected coin (K-line, orders, depth).
Tap a coin in the left column, and the right column updates in real-time, eliminating the need to repeatedly go back.
5. OPPO / vivo Split Screen
ColorOS / OriginOS split screen is close to native Android but features:
Free Small Window
- Swipe in from the left or right edges → Free Small Window.
- You can run up to 3 small windows simultaneously.
- Ideal for futures users to monitor multiple coins at once.
Smart Sidebar Quick Launch
- Add the Binance App to the sidebar.
- Drag out the sidebar from the app interface → Drag the Binance icon to the center of the screen → Floating window.
6. iPad Split View
iPad multitasking offers the most mature mobile experience.
Activating Split View
- Open the Binance App.
- Swipe up slightly from the bottom bar → Hold.
- Drag another app from the Dock to the right side of the screen.
- Both apps take up half the screen each.
Comparison of Three Modes
| Mode | Operation | Features |
|---|---|---|
| Split View | Left/Right split | Each takes up 1/2 or 2/3 + 1/3. |
| Slide Over | Floating window | A hideable floating window. |
| Picture in Picture | PiP | Video or map overlay window. |
iPad Professional Trading Configuration
Recommended combinations:
- Split View: Binance K-lines + TradingView analysis.
- Slide Over: Telegram market group.
- Background: Binance Lite running as a backup.
Stage Manager (iPadOS 16+)
Introduced in iPadOS 16+, Stage Manager allows up to 4 windows to be visible simultaneously:
- Center: Binance App (Main operation).
- Left: Safari for news.
- Right: Notes for taking notes.
- Bottom: Mail.
This is close to a desktop multitasking experience.
7. iOS iPhone Picture-in-Picture
iPhone does not support split screen but does support Picture-in-Picture (PiP).
PiP Capabilities of the Binance App
- K-line PiP: Some iOS versions allow the K-line chart to float as a small window, continuing to display while the screen is locked or you're using other apps.
- How to enter: Tap the "Picture-in-Picture" button in the top left of the K-line chart.
- Window size: Can be freely dragged and resized.
Note: Not all iOS versions support PiP for the Binance App; iOS 14+ and Binance 2.80+ are required.
8. Samsung DeX / Huawei Desktop Mode
These modes turn your phone into a desktop computer, and the Binance App automatically switches to a desktop layout.
Samsung DeX
- Connect via HDMI cable or wireless casting to a large screen.
- Phone enters DeX mode.
- The Binance App displays as a window and can be opened multiple times.
- Supports keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+F for search, Ctrl+W to close window).
Huawei Desktop Mode
Functions similarly to DeX but is only supported on the Mate series. In desktop mode, the Binance App provides a three-column layout (Coin list + K-line + Orders), mirroring the desktop client experience.
9. Trading Precautions in Split Screen
Order Operation Priority
- Limit Orders: Fully functional in split screen; highly recommended.
- Market Orders: Pay attention to accuracy to avoid accidental high-price executions.
- Take Profit/Stop Loss: The keyboard may block the input field; full-screen operation is suggested.
Avoiding Misoperations in Small Window
In Small Window Mode, avoid opening high-leverage futures positions. Button spacing is small, and a single misclick could result in losses of thousands of dollars. It is recommended to switch back to full screen for futures operations.
Split Screen and 2FA
When opening Google Authenticator to check verification codes, you can place the Binance App in a small window and GA in the main window to check the code in one step.
Frequently Asked Questions FAQ
Q1: Why doesn't my APP support split screen?
A: Two possibilities: ① Your Android version is below 7.0 (the minimum for split-screen APIs); ② Your APP version is too old. Try downloading the latest APK from the Binance Official Website.
Q2: Will K-line charts distort in split screen?
A: No distortion; they will auto-adapt. After height compression, some indicators may overlap; use two fingers to zoom and adjust display density. Split-screen experience is better in landscape mode.
Q3: Is the Binance App on iPad the same as the iPhone version?
A: Not entirely. The iPad version is optimized for large screens with a three-column layout (Sidebar + Main area + Detail area), offering higher information density. It supports Split View and Slide Over by default.
Q4: Will push notifications still sound in Small Window mode?
A: Yes. Push notifications are system-level and are not affected by the APP's current display mode. Even if the Binance App is in a small window or the background, price alerts and order executions will notify normally.
Q5: Can I see warnings for futures liquidations in Small Window mode?
A: Yes. Liquidation warnings are system-level pushes that appear as Toast pop-ups at the top of the screen. However, to avoid operation errors, it is recommended to immediately switch back to full screen when a liquidation is imminent.
