Use the Taskbar on your Galaxy Z Fold6, Z Fold5, or Z Fold4

The Taskbar on your Galaxy Z Fold4, Z Fold5, or Z Fold6 gives you a genuine PC-like experience, right on your phone! Situated conveniently across the bottom of your screen, it'll let you access the apps you use all time. This means you'll never have to go searching through the Apps screen again when you need to launch your favorite social media app or send a text to your best friend. You can also use the Taskbar to open apps in Multi window view, as well as quickly create app pairs. You can find the Galaxy Z Fold6, with all its amazing features, on our website.

  2. Next, tap any app icon on the Taskbar to open it.
  3. To use Multi window, drag and drop your desired apps from the Taskbar into the top, bottom, left, right, or center portions of the screen.

  1. From a Home screen or the Apps screen, touch and drag an app into the favorites bar area near the bottom to add it.
