Samsung did an unwanted software update in the middle of the night.

I hate that they do that.

Instructions that I couldn't decifer came and went.

Question: How,to get split screen when watching YouTube? I used to do that via the lower left button. Now it said touch title, but I don't know what that means.

Anybody having this issue?

3. I searched Google play store and see several.

Do they revert the software back to previous settings?

4. I may not have the latest update on my Note 5

my wife got it it on her S7 Edge but not me yet
I press and hold the Recent button (the one you were talking about) and everything I have read on Android 7.0 (Nougat) says you still do that. did you get some other update? I'll experiment when I get home and can see my wife's phone.

5. everything is new. like a brand new phone.

In the middle of the night it just updated after I had rejected earlier requests to update.

Holding the 'recent' button no longer works. When I looked at the phone this morning I had new wallpaper and instructions to a different way to do split screen briefly appeared and disappeared. Something about the "title". I can't do it.

My desire is to listen to a an album or podcast on youtube while still being able to do tasks via split screen. I can't find that "title" thingy anywhere.

6. i found it!!!

I searched in the phone settings and split screen brought up two options. The "recent" button was not checked so it wouldn't work. I tried searching before and it didn't come up.

At least that part is fixed.

7. Ha!

I was just fixing to post that. ..finally got a look at wife's phone. She hates the update too lol.

Glad you got it though!

Or You bein' safeecious?
I found it IS possible, how to do it?
Thanks!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

10. Yeah. I forgot that they could "update the entire system.

Turned off the switch one day late.

11. Did you find it?

You have to go in settings in a couple of places I think. Play Store settings and settings in the phone and search auto update. A switch option should pop up.
