Split screen isn't working on your Android tablet
Split screen requires enough RAM and compatible apps. Restart your tablet, make sure you have at least 2GB free RAM, try with a built-in app like Gmail first, and check if split screen is enabled in Developer Options. A restart fixes it.
Split screen lets you run two apps side-by-side on your tablet. It requires sufficient system resources, compatible apps, and the feature to be enabled. Some apps don't support split screen, and older Android versions can not have the feature.
