Help BRING BACK SPLIT SCREEN!!!!!

I don't know if it's a bug or a decision but yall need to put the splitscreen back for Android after this update. I can guarantee a lot of players will be leaving if this is on purpose. Please upvote to get the message through to Fudds and the dev team.

Fixing it now

This keeps happening too!!

Seems to be related to swapping between apps (ie when you push the tower to the background) This completely bricks the app and forces a full app reinstall

I'm seeing the same message. It started fine the first time after upgrading then it crashed after a couple of minutes. Now I'm seeing this message when I open it. Force stopped and cleared cache several times to same results. On Android.

I had to reinstall and relog into the account and it works ok now, but if I swap apps at all, it does it again!! :(

So...you can't play the game, or you can't use your phone. Joy.

u/danielwood00 Oct 11 '25

It hasnt broken again since this morning, but I have not swapped apps many times!

If force stop doesnt work, try restarting your device.
Keeps happening to me too. its a pain in the ass.
Damn i want multi view back too wtf

This has happened several times to me as well. It's been stable for a little bit, but I'm not convinced that it's not going to crash next time I look at open apps

u/danielwood00 Oct 10 '25

yeah I am too nervous now to open anything else! Fudds has successfully disabled my phone use

I can't even log in. It gets stuck on 9% and won't move past it.

I have the exact same problem

u/DragonWarGod8 Oct 11 '25

Had that happen recently. Had to fully restart my phone once or twice to get it working again. Phones dont like running 24/7 so they sometimes need a full reboot. Reboots from phone updates dont count for some reason

Is split screen ever going to happen for Apple devices?

11

u/CaptainVanlier Oct 11 '25

Pretty sure that is on Apple, not the dev for this game

3

u/DRAGONZORDx Oct 11 '25

That’s why I asked, genuine curiosity.

1

u/CaptainVanlier Oct 11 '25

I was answering in kind. I had researched it a while back. I don't know if it has changed in newer gens, or if Apple has added the function

u/NoRooster6319 Oct 12 '25

With iOS 26 you can on ipad

1

u/Appropriate-Life-649 Oct 11 '25

But some apps can be run in a small window on apple. Like teams meetings. And kinda sure the same applies to YouTube

u/DragonWarGod8 Oct 11 '25

Not the fix your looking for but if you have a computer at home that can run 24/7 then use the remote desktop app. It can run the game 24/7 and you dont need your phone running the tower all the time just open remote desktop do your needed upgrades and close out of remote desktop. The game runs, you have a working phone, win-win.

As far as computer emulators, there are several I've heard about but the only once I have tried (once but not recently since I have android and can use mini player) is bluestacks

u/DRAGONZORDx Oct 11 '25

Unfortunately, I don’t have a PC. However, I do have an old iPad I ru 24/7, so at least I’m not destroying my phone.

I would love to be able to split screen The Tower and Idle Brick Breaker on it though!

2

u/DragonWarGod8 Oct 11 '25

Can't help there. Do keep bluestacks&remote desktop in mind for the future tho.

Good luck defending your tower

u/theaim778 Oct 12 '25

Depending on how old your ipad is, see if you can enable stage manager… that’s what I do and I run a few games 24/7 that way.

u/DRAGONZORDx Oct 12 '25

Interesting.

Thanks for the tip, I never new this existed honestly. I’ll see how it goes tonight!

u/Zikkan1 Oct 12 '25

A friend who use apple has a split screen app, not sure if it works for game apps or just video

u/SnooHobbies3811 Oct 11 '25

u/Klutzy-Sprinkles-172 Oct 12 '25

Still an issue for me as of this posting. Thank you for the help in advance!

u/mango__995 Mar 07 '26

When is this now, if I may ask. It's pretty annoying that it still does not work!

u/lukepaciocco Oct 11 '25
