Does Niantic support split screen multitasking on iPad/Android tablets?

Question

Curious if I could run Pokemon Go and Ingress side by side on a tablet. Playing both games on a phone is a tad bit difficult to achieve much since the games tend to need to relogin frequently when I swap back and forth... So I was debating on getting a tablet (need one anyways)

Edit: To clarify, I don't want to run two instances of the same game. I want to run Ingress and PoGo side by side. Currently, on phone it freezes which ever app you are not currently in.

Not sure why people found this question offensive enough to down vote it. If it doesn't pertain to you then move on. Jeez. I just wanted some info.

FYI: The New iPadOS coming this fall, support opening multiple copies of the same app at the same time.

We have a student who recently been playing who has been able to play 2 accounts split screen on an android weather agreeable or not pretty sure you can get jngress and pogo going at the same time if you got a big enough screen on Android

You can download the app called "Island" and run both in a split screen.

I split screen all the time for PoGo and discord or whatever... How is PoGo gonna know or care if you split screen on your phone? Why does it matter to them?

Well the problem with split screen with these apps is that it "freezes" the one you aren't currently using. Perhaps a RAM or some sort of GPS accessibility issue(?) not sure. Was hoping on a tablet it would run both at the same time. Still seems like the better option than trying on the phone.

Yeah but you will just have to click back and forth so it unfreezes it.

I have android phone and I played ingres and pokemon go on split screen for a few days, it works okay but if you click on pokemon go half ingress screen would freeze until you press on its half of the screen and other way around.

Yea, that was what I was wondering with a tablet. I should have mentioned that. I was hoping the freezing wouldn't occur and I could actually run both at once. Spin a stop and hack a portal at the same time.

From what I've been lead to believe, they don't even want us to have multiple accounts, but then again, I'm not the least bit interested to have multiple accounts, so all I have is hearsay from Reddit, so I could be wrong.

Multiple accounts for the same game, you mean, right? I don't believe playing across their 3 games is something they'd be against. I just want to play Ingress and PoGo at the same time.

I often forget they even have other games tbh, but yes, I've been lead to understand they don't like us having multiple accounts on PoGo.
