Can I customize the size and layout of apps in multi-window mode on the Galaxy Z Fold 5


Yes, you can customize the size and layout of apps in multi-window mode on the Galaxy Z Fold 5. Here’s how:

Multi-Window Features

1. Enable Multi-Window Mode:
- Go to Settings > Advanced features > Labs and turn on Multi window for all apps. This allows you to use split screen or pop-up view for applications that may not natively support it[1][2].

2. Using Split Screen:
- Open the first app you want to use, then access the Multi window tray by swiping from the right side of the screen. You can drag and drop a second app into either side of the screen to create a split view[2][6].
- Adjust the size of each app window by dragging the blue divider between them[4][5].

3. Pop-Up View:
- To open an app in pop-up view, drag it from the Multi window tray to the center of the screen. You can resize this pop-up by dragging its edges[2][5].

4. App Pairs:
- You can create App pairs for frequently used applications. This allows you to open two apps simultaneously in split screen with just one tap[6][7].

5. Moving and Resizing Windows:
- In pop-up view, you can move the window around by dragging it, and resize it by touching its sides and dragging[2][5]. In split screen mode, you can also rotate the layout by tapping on the three-dot menu at the top of the screen[4][6].

By utilizing these features, you can effectively manage multiple applications on your Galaxy Z Fold 5, enhancing your multitasking capabilities.
