Mastering Multitasking: Tips for Galaxy Z Fold Phones

Tricks to make multitasking more efficient on Galaxy Z Fold phones

Samsung has always been a pioneer in enhancing the multitasking experience on smartphones. Across their Galaxy smartphone lineup, Samsung offers features like Multi Window/split-screen mode and the ability to open apps in pop-up windows.

With the introduction of Galaxy Z Fold phones and their expansive foldable displays, multitasking has reached new heights. While traditional Galaxy phones support running two apps simultaneously in split-screen mode, a Galaxy Z Fold device allows you to run three apps at the same time.

Enhanced Multitasking with the Taskbar

Galaxy Z Fold smartphones, such as the Galaxy Z Fold 6, feature a desktop-like Taskbar. This Taskbar, similar to Microsoft Windows, provides quick access to your favorite apps, enhancing the multitasking experience.

Before exploring the multitasking tricks, ensure that the Taskbar is enabled on your Galaxy Z Fold device. Simply navigate to Settings » Display » Taskbar and toggle the feature on. Please note that the Taskbar is only supported on the inner display when the phone is unfolded.

Utilizing the Taskbar on your Galaxy Z Fold phone can significantly improve your multitasking efficiency. By tapping app shortcuts on the Taskbar, you can instantly open specific apps. Furthermore, long-pressing an app's icon and dragging it upwards enables Multi Window/split-screen mode.

When running a single app, drag another app's icon to the top or bottom of the screen for horizontal split-screen mode. For vertical split-screen mode, simply drag the app icon to the right or left side.

If you're already using two apps in Multi Window mode, seamlessly add a third app by dragging its icon to the desired location on the screen.

Effortless App Switching

In addition to app shortcuts, the Taskbar allows you to switch between recently used apps with a single tap. Enabling the Show recent apps feature in Settings » Display » Taskbar divides the Taskbar into two sections. Recent apps are displayed on the right side for quick access, providing a faster app-switching method compared to conventional options.

Customize Your Multitasking Experience

Personalize your Taskbar settings by customizing the number of recent apps displayed. Whether you prefer 2, 3, or 4 recent apps visible on the Taskbar, you have the flexibility to tailor your multitasking experience. Keep in mind that adding more app shortcuts to the Taskbar will impact the number of recently used apps displayed. Additionally, in the absence of recent apps, the Taskbar will showcase recommended apps as suggested by Samsung.
