Split screen and launching camera

[shenlong]

Sometimes, i need to work in splitscreen and i press homescreen and launch camera by holding camera hardware button.

Camera cannot launch from lock screen or home screen.

Lost the moment to capture.

Anyone has the same issue?

Thanks for the update!

I tried now again, this time on 3 different Xperia X Performances devices and everything works fine with launching the camera when having 2 Chrome browsers/windows in split screen.

The Chrome application that you have installed in your phone, is that a beta version of Chrome or is it the "normal" version of the application? In all 3 devices that I tried with they had the latest version of Chrome installed, version: 55.0.2883.91.

If you are using the Chrome beta application or an earlier version of the Chrome application, try updating the application and see if you still experience the same behaviour.

These are the steps that I used, are you doing the same?

1. Open up Chrome.
2. Press and hold the task button (button right of your phone).
3. Tap the 3 dots in the top right corner of the Chrome application > "Move to other window".
4. Went back to the home screen with the home button > turned the screen off > held the camera button and the camera opened up.

Let me if that helped!
