How to open two apps side by side on any Fold device

In this guide, we will show you the steps to open two apps side by side on your fold device. While Samsung was the player in town to bring about this form factor [well, technically speaking it was Royale Flex Pai, but that was more of a gimmick than anything else], since then, we have seen numerous players making their presence felt in this domain. Each of them comes with its own set of unique prepositions and functionalities and a few caveats as well.
