To get something from one display to the other, you need to use the вЂњMove to other windowвЂќ option, which feels a bit awkward.

As you would expect, these kinds of options only appear on dual-screen devices like the LG V60 ThinQ and the Microsoft Surface Duo.Д®ach вЂњwindowвЂќ of Chrome has its own separate list of tabs, which can be a blessing or a curse. WeвЂ™ve also noted that when long-pressing a link, youвЂ™re offered to вЂњOpen in other windowвЂќ alongside the familiar options to open in a new tab or Incognito tab. As spotted and recorded by XDA-Developers, Chrome now has a new вЂњMove to other windowвЂќ option in its context menu, which almost immediately opens the current tab on your deviceвЂ™s other display.Дon't know when this started working, but the android-multiple-display flag now shows a 'move tab to other window' button on the LG Velvet (and according to the Surface Duo) and it works!ДЇeatured in this video: LG Velvet and my ~Apple AirPods~ I mean OnePlus Buds.

Update 9/15: Five months after we first spotted this feature in the works, it seems Google has managed to get it to a working state in time for the recently released Chrome for Android version 85. When enabled, tabs can be moved to the secondary display. Like most other new Chrome features, the work is getting started behind a new flag in chrome://flags, though itвЂ™s likely the wording below will change before we see it live on a device. Additionally, there are new protections in place to merge your two sets of tabs back together when your second display is turned off or disconnected.

In a new code change uploaded today to ChromiumвЂ™s Gerrit source code management, work has properly begun to use Chrome across multiple displays, building on early work started in 2018 for early dual-screen phones like the ZTE Axon M.ДЄccording to the code changeвЂ™s description, youвЂ™ll be able to use your second display to open a second, separate tab, possibly using ChromeвЂ™s вЂњMove to other windowвЂќ option, first spotted back in the Nougat days. With the advent of foldables, Google is now getting Chrome for Android ready for multitasking primetime on these new devices. Instead, dual-screen phones are currently offered an expanded view of a single Chrome tab.

On the desktop versions of Chrome, itвЂ™s easy to just open two windows side-by-side to work in one while keeping the other open for a reference.Дoing something similar on Android has, to this point, never been easy, though there are almost certainly hacky ways to make it happen. One of the best aspects of using multiple displays, whether on a laptop or a phone, is the ease of multitasking. Update: This feature is now live and working in Google Chrome for Android.

It looks like Google Chrome for Android is now looking to improve the latter kind of foldables with support for multiple displays. In the Android world, two different types of вЂњfoldablesвЂќ have been on the rise - those that have a foldable display like the Galaxy Z Flip, and those that have two separate displays like the LG V60 ThinQ and Microsoft Surface Duo.
