How to multitask on your Samsung Galaxy Z Fold8
The large display on your Galaxy Z Fold8 makes it easy to work with multiple apps at the same time. Whether you want to use Split screen, open an app in Pop-up view, quickly launch apps from the Taskbar or use Samsung DeX with a compatible display, you have several ways to stay productive. This guide introduces these multitasking features and shows you how to get started.
Note: The information provided applies to Samsung Galaxy devices sold in Canada. Screens and settings may vary depending on the device model and software version.
Split screen lets you use two supported apps side by side, making the most of the large display on your Galaxy Z Fold8. Whether you're comparing information, taking notes while browsing the web or watching a video while replying to messages, Split screen helps you work more efficiently without constantly switching between apps.
Note: While using Split screen, tap the divider between the two apps to access additional options, such as switching the app positions or saving the current app combination as an App Pair for quicker access later.
Pop-up view lets you keep a supported app available in a floating window while continuing to use another app underneath. It's a convenient way to reference information, reply to messages or perform quick tasks without interrupting what you're already doing. You can move the floating window around the screen or resize it to fit your workflow.
Multi Window includes settings that let you personalize how you use Split screen and Pop-up view on your Galaxy Z Fold8. You can enable convenient gestures to launch these features more quickly and adjust additional options to make multitasking even more efficient.
- Swipe for split screen to open two apps at the same time using a swipe gesture.
- Swipe for pop-up view to open an app in a floating window using a swipe gesture.
- Full screen in split screen view for a more immersive split screen experience.
The Taskbar gives you quick access to your favourite and recently used apps while you're using your Galaxy Z Fold8. Instead of returning to the Home screen, you can switch between apps or quickly open two apps side by side, making multitasking even more convenient on the large display.
The Taskbar appears at the bottom of the screen while you're using apps. If it isn't visible, you can enable it:
Note: The Taskbar is available only on supported Galaxy Z Fold models.
Samsung DeX extends the multitasking capabilities of your Galaxy Z Fold8 by providing a desktop-style interface on a compatible external display. You can work with multiple apps in separate windows, browse the web, create documents and use a keyboard and mouse for a more comfortable and productive experience.
