Use Multi window on your Galaxy foldable phone
The Multi window feature on your Galaxy Z Fold3 5G or Galaxy Z Flip3 5G can help you multitask like a pro throughout the day. If you want to watch a video while looking through photos, or send emails while browsing the news, simply open the apps at the same time using split screen or pop-up view. Three apps can be used at once on the Galaxy Z Fold series phones, and up to five can be opened in popup view on your Galaxy Z Flip series phones. The Multi window tray can be customized to include your most-used apps, so you will always have everything you need.
Note: Information provided applies to devices sold in Canada. Available screens and settings may vary for smartphones sold in other countries. Split screen view and pop-up view are not supported on the front screen of the Galaxy Z Fold series phones or Galaxy Z Flip series phones. Some apps do not support split screen view.
The Multi window tray on the Galaxy Z Flip models and the Galaxy Z Fold models is a convenient menu where you can store apps you frequently use in split screen view or pop-up view. You can customize the tray, so your favorite apps are always right there when you need to multitask.
First, you will need to open the tray:
- Galaxy Z Flip series phone: The Multi window tray has a handle on the right side of the screen. Swipe left on the handle to open up the tray.
- Galaxy Z Fold series phone: Swipe left from the screen's right side to open the Multi window tray.
Then, you can start customizing the tray:
Note: If you have a Galaxy Z Flip series phone, you can take the customization further. Tap the Settings icon in the Multi window tray; from here, you can turn the Multi window tray shortcut on or off, or change which side of the screen the handle appears. If you do not like where the handle is currently positioned, just drag it up or down the screen’s edge to a new location. Once you are satisfied, tap the switch next to Lock handle position to prevent the shortcut handle from moving.
Note: When it is unfolded, the Galaxy Z Fold supports up to three apps in Multi view. You can use Multi view on the Galaxy Z Flip when the phone is fully opened or when it is folded in Flex mode.
