2. Go to the Settings menu
3. Go to the Multi window under Device
4. In the the top right corner of the screen, switch the toggle Multi window to ON
5. Select if you want the content in Multi Window mode by default by checking the box next to Open in multi window view

After you have enabled Multi Window Mode and Split Screen View on the Galaxy S5, check to see that you have a grey semi or half circle on the screen.
