Android new version gets split screen, others

Android will introduce new operating system with split-screen multitasking that allows people to use two apps at the same time. BBC Africa reports.

Information can be copied across from one app to the other.

A similar feature is already available on some iOS and Windows 10 devices, and Samsung has already added the feature to some of its Android smartphones.

The new software also introduces some cosmetic changes to settings and notifications, and aims to improve battery life.

Google has traditionally named new versions of the operating system after sweet treats, as was the case with Lollipop and Marshmallow.

The newest version has not yet been named but it has been suggested that Android N will be named after a popular chocolate and hazelnut breakfast spread.
