Credit: Mishaal Rahman / Android AuthorityTL;DRGoogle is testing a new split-screen functionality for Gemini.This would allow Gemini to read the contents of other apps open in split-screen mode without an overlay or Gemini Live.The feature may be limited to book-style foldabes or tablets.Google’s Circle to Search and Gemini overlays have been two remarkable ways to let Gemini view content from other apps. But their application remains limited since the overlay closes as soon as we switch back to the other app. The other alternative is to share your screen with Gemini Live, but that may not match the regular interface in terms of functionality. Now, Google may be working to partially solve that by allowing Gemini to interpret another app’s content, though the application may be limited to a specific set of devices.
