Multitasking has always been well-supported on Android. Android 15 offers new ways to use it, such as drag and drop. 

It is a useful tool for sharing text, graphics, and files. It includes many formats in different applications and accelerates work. 

This article will explain how to use drag and drop on Android 15. There will be a discussion of the peculiarities of the corresponding usage.

How to Drag and Drop Content

The following general plan is followed in most Android 15 devices. However, there could still be minor deviations due to the manufacturer's skin provided. Here's the general procedure:

First, you can select available content to drag. 

With the text, swipe the content lightly with two fingers across its surface while tapping and pinching it. 

After that, it should go up, or what we prefer to call a “rise.”

Slide it to the desired app where you want to drop the content.

However, if the object is a string, then there are two strategies one can opt for:

To access the apps, you must swipe up lightly to the overview. 

Then, tap and hold the target app icon, choose “Split screen”

If you want to use it for drag-and-drop, continue dragging.

To start the target app and position the content just as you want it, first, drag it to the left or right. Once the app is active, snap the content to the centered or preferred spot and then release your finger.

Examples and Use Cases

Dragging Text:

You highlight a portion of text in an article you opened in your web browser. You can transfer that highlighted text directly to Google Keep or Evernote.

Place a few words from an envelope into an iMessage or any other messaging solution.

Dragging Images:

You can share pictures or screen snapshots as soon as possible by dragging them to Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter accounts.

Select an image you want to beautify and pull it into an app like Adobe Photoshop Express or Picsart, in this case.

Dragging Files:

Imagine dragging and dropping the files into Google Drive or the ‘Google Drive’ icon of the other clouds like Dropbox.

To insert an attachment, you can drag and drop a file or several files in a message to which you want to append a file.

Dragging Links:

Click and drag the link on the website where you want further information and drop it on a note.

You can drag the link into the chat and tell friends about it for several minutes.

Tips for Effective Drag and Drop

Split Screen for Easier Dragging: In split-screen mode, it is more convenient to drag and drop. The client application source is visible alongside the application the CAM sits on.

Target Areas: The extremists should make sure that they select a proper area to deposit their content within the desired application. Some apps have predefined drop zones, some of which include text or image boxes.

App Compatibility: Many programs provide a simple text and picture dragging and dropping option. However, some apps do not have this support or in-app drop-drop for some content types.

Android 15 drag-and-drop introduces a new mechanism for transferring files and data from one application to another. This makes multitasking easier and more efficient. 

Once this feature is learned, the user can extend the usage of the Android device and foster efficiency in the current world. 

Experiment with various applications and materials, look at the drag-and-drop features, and integrate them into inherent motivational rewards for a mobile client.
