When Huawei launched the MediaPad M6 tablet along side the Nova 5, the company unveiled a new feature that would be onboard the tablet. Dubbed Parallel view, the feature is quite similar to the split-screen feature found on smartphones just that it works on landscape mode. Huawei has now announced that the parallel view feature is supported by most mainstream apps with more to follow soon. 
The compatible apps are divided into three batches. The first batch includes 17 supported apps such as WeChat, QQ, Taobao, Baidu, Today Headlines, Jingdong, Appbao, Weibo, Thunder, Baidu Mobile Assistant, Tmall, 360. Other apps include Mobile assistant, know, car home, vibrato, fast hand, volcano video. The second batch includes apps such as Alipay, nano-box, homework help. We expect the first batch of apps to be ready when the MediaPad M6 goes on sale. The third batch of apps is reportedly being optimised.
In case you are wondering how Huawei’s Parallel View differs from our below Android’s split screen feature. The difference between the split screen and this Parallel view feature is that both apps can work simultaneously unlike split-screen where one app will be frozen if a second one is working. In addition, one app can simultaneously open two task interfaces without any interference. This isn’t available on split-screen mode.
