Flex mode is specially designed for Galaxy Foldable to make the users’ experience much better. So, in this guide, you’ll learn how to use Flex mode on Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4.
One of them is the flex mode. The primary screen of the phone is almost always folded in half while you use it. The best usage for it is when you want to put your phone down and use it hands-free, as while making video calls, and certain apps are already set up to make use of it by default.
Applications that Support Flex
Ensure that the orientation lock is off before opening an app and folding the phone screen in halves like a laptop or a makeup compact to activate Flex mode. To do this, look for the lock symbol in the notification / quick settings shade. A set of controls will often display at the bottom, and the content will shift to the top screen if the app supports it. App-specific differences exist, and not all programs that support Flex mode on the Fold also support it on the Flip.
