in the meantime = meanwhile
In the meantime often implies a temporary waiting period or interval before something else happens. It suggests that you're filling a specific gap in time.
- I'm waiting for the results of my exam. In the meantime, I'm going to read a book.
- The movie starts at 8:00. In the meantime, let's grab some snacks.
Meanwhile can be used in the same way as "in the meantime," but it also serves to introduce a contrasting or parallel action. It simply means "at the same time" without the strong emphasis on a waiting period.
- The students were taking their test. Meanwhile, the teacher was grading papers.
- The police searched the house. Meanwhile, a helicopter circled overhead.
