Use Flex mode and Multi window on your Galaxy Z Fold4

Flex mode on the Galaxy Z Fold4 comes with its very own touchpad! You can select items or icons just like on a PC.

1. While your phone is open, navigate to and open your desired app.
2. Then, fold your phone halfway to launch Flex mode, and prop it up on its side. You can use a solid surface like a table, or hold it with your hands. The app window will appear on the top portion of the screen, and the controls will appear on the bottom portion.
3. You can use the controls to view your notifications, take screenshots, adjust the brightness and volume, and also navigate the screen with your finger. Tap the touchpad icon (the rightmost icon on the panel) to begin navigating the app.
4. A cursor guide will appear on the app window; simply drag your finger around the touchpad and tap on your desired items to select them.
   

You can adjust the apps that will use Flex mode by turning the feature on or off for those apps. For instance, maybe you want to use Samsung Notes in Flex mode view, but you’d like to turn it off for Messages.

1. Navigate to and open Settings, and then tap Advanced features.
2. Tap Labs, and then swipe to and tap Flex mode panel.
3. Tap the switch(es) next to your desired app or apps. Keep in mind that some apps are not compatible with Flex mode.
   

The Multi window tray stores your frequently used apps for quick access. You can open your apps in split screen or pop-up view right from the tray, as well as create app pairs. The tray can also be customized to include your favorite apps.

1. To open the tray, swipe left on the handle, which is located on the right side of your screen.
2. Tap the three horizontal lines at the bottom, and then tap Edit to customize the tray.
   
   Note: Tap All apps to view other compatible apps.
   
   
3. To add an app, simply tap it. You can find additional apps by tapping the search icon at the top, or by swiping up on the screen.
4. Tap Back when you’re finished, and then open the tray again from a Home screen.
5. Drag and drop your first app onto the Home screen, and then do the same for additional apps. You can place the app in the top, bottom, right, or left portions of the screen. To open an app in pop-up view, just drag the app to the center.
   
   Note: You can also tap Recents, then tap an app’s icon, and then tap either Open in split screen view or Open in pop-up view.
   
   
6. When in pop-up view, you can move the windows around to your liking using the blue divider at the top. If you need a larger view for an app, tap the blue divider, and then tap the expand icon.
7. When in split screen view, you can drag the dividers to adjust the window size.
8. To create an app pair from split screen view, tap the divider between the app windows, and then tap the app pair icon (it looks like a star). Then, select from Taskbar, Home screen, or Apps edge panel; the app pair will be placed in your selected location.
   
   
9. To close an app, tap the blue divider at the top of the app’s window, and then tap the X icon.

Your opened apps will remain active when you switch to Flex mode. Fold the phone halfway and then keep it propped on a solid surface to continue using the apps.

The Drag and Split feature will let you open a notification or web link in a new window.

1. Navigate to your desired web link or open the Notification panel by swiping down from the top of your screen.
2. Touch and hold the link or notification, and then drag and drop the window into the top, bottom, left, right, or center of the screen.
   
   
3. From there, you can view the link or notification, as well as move the window around the screen.

Sometimes, opening apps from the Multi window tray may get tedious. But on your Galaxy Z Fold4, you can use two-finger swipe gestures to quickly display an opened app in split screen view. Simply swipe in the direction you’d like to view the app to change its view. You can also use one-finger gestures to view an opened app in pop-up view.

1. To turn on swipe gestures, navigate to and open Settings, and then tap Advanced features.
2. Tap Labs, and then tap the switches next to Swipe for pop-up view and Swipe for split screen to turn them on.
   
   
3. Next, navigate back to a Home screen, and then launch your desired app.
4. To view the app in split screen view, use two fingers to swipe up from the bottom of the screen. This will move the app window up into the top portion of the screen.
5. If you’d rather view the app on the left or right side, use two fingers to swipe inwards from the left or right side of the screen instead.
6. You can also view the app in pop-up view. Using one finger, swipe down from the top corner of the screen toward the middle of the screen. You can swipe from either the top left or top right corners.
