This is a user interface decision, not a programming decision.
Allowing simultaneous viewing of arbitrarily many apps may not be a problem technically, but it would make the system more complex to use, with more possible interpretations of actions. It's a tradeoff.
- skookumchuck 8y agoNext year Samsung will announce a new phone with FOUR apps that can be open at once! Or Apple will do it for them.
- DennisAleynikov 8y agothey announced that with the Note 4 actually since that phone supported Facebook messenger style floating windows for as many apps as you wanted. Android nougat added that to the AOSP source so any android phone can open up to 8 apps at once in floating windows. This is not new tech. The 3 way app view is just a tiling window manager managing it in a weird way it's not a real restriction
