I dunno about iOS, but there's that split screen thing on Android, if you haven't used it.

I've found it to be of limited use on phones, because the screen is small to start with, but I've used it on Android tablets.

If you don't care about the phone form factor (or don't care about power usage on the existing hardware and can do GNU/Linux on it), you can run Android apps on Linux on Waydroid, though I've never heard of someone doing it on a phone, myself. I don't know if resource usage makes that impractical.

    Unfortunately the split screen feature that comes with android is a lot more limited than what I'd ideally want.. at least on the phones I had :3.. though being able to swipe on the bottom bar to switch between open apps sorta emulates the idea of workspaces, but again.. it's not the greatest

    I have seen people run waydroid on phones :3 I haven't tried yet, but I do want to install linux on one of my old phones to try at some point, I saw someone using Hyprland on a phone which is pretty cool
