Can you customize the Multi Window feature on the Galaxy Z Fold 5


The Galaxy Z Fold 5 offers extensive customization options for its Multi Window feature, enhancing multitasking capabilities. Here’s how you can customize it:

Accessing Multi Window Settings

1. Open Settings: Navigate to Settings > Advanced features > Multi window.
2. Toggle Options: You will find several toggles that allow you to customize how Multi Window functions, including:
- Swipe for split screen
- Swipe for pop-up view
- Show multi window menu with one window
- Full screen in split screen[3][4].

Using the Multi Window Feature

- Opening Apps: You can open apps in split screen by dragging them from the Multi Window tray or the Recents menu. For pop-up view, drag the app to the center of the screen[1][6].
- Adjusting Windows: In split screen mode, adjust the size of each app window using the blue dividers between them. In pop-up view, you can move and resize the app windows as needed[1][2].

Creating App Pairs

- App Pairs: You can create pairs of apps that you frequently use together. Open both apps in split screen, then tap the three-dot icon and select the star icon to save them as an app pair. This allows you to launch both apps simultaneously with a single tap from your home screen or taskbar[7] .

Advanced Features

- Good Lock and MultiStar: For more advanced multitasking options, consider using Samsung's Good Lock application with the MultiStar module. This allows you to force apps to support split screen or pop-up views, even if they don’t natively support it. Enable this feature in Settings > Advanced features > Labs > Multi window for all apps[2][4].

Customizing the Multi Window Tray

- Multi Window Tray Customization: You can add frequently used apps to your Multi Window tray for quick access. Open the tray by swiping from the right side of the screen, tap the grid icon, and select your desired apps to add them[6][1].

By utilizing these features and settings, you can significantly enhance your multitasking experience on the Galaxy Z Fold 5, making it a powerful tool for productivity.
