What is the Flex mode of Galaxy Z Flip4 and Galaxy Z Fold4?
One of the most significant advantages of Samsung's flip smartphones is that they give you the ability to work in multi-screen mode, so you can cover all your needs with a single device. To find out more about this feature, read below.
If you activate Flex mode when your phone is folded and in an upright position, the app you are using will appear at the top of the screen. A panel with additional controls will appear at the bottom of your screen.
Please note: Some apps provide their own customised layout while in Flex mode. In these cases the Flex mode panel will not appear.
If you want to set up Flex mode on your foldable device, follow the next steps:
Step 1. On your Settings menu tap “Advanced features”.
Step 2. Select the “Labs” option.
Step 3. Tap on “Flex mode panel”.
Step 4. On this screen select which apps to activate the Flex mode panel by tapping the toggle button.
Step 5. Open the app of your choice, put it in folded state and enjoy Flex mode, where the chosen app appears on the top screen and the Flex mode touchpad appears on the bottom screen.
On the lower screen you can find the following icons:
- Notify panel down.
- Screenshot Capture.
- Brightness Control.
- Volume Control.
- Touchpad on/off.
You can perform these actions on your touchpad:
- 1 finger click action.
- Open menu with the touch of 2 fingers (right click).
- Scroll up and down operation with 2 fingers, left and right by swiping with 2 fingers.
