The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 offers an interesting feature called the taskbar, which displays a taskbar with many shortcuts at the bottom of the screen. In this tutorial, I will explain how to optimize your user experience with this very useful taskbar.
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 can run on One UI 4.1, which we already know about Samsung’s overlay, which embeds an Android 12L feature called Taskbar. Among other things, this feature allows quick access to 8 apps without having to close one of them, thus being able to handle the various multitasking shortcuts that Samsung implements.
The taskbar is enabled by default and appears at the bottom of the screen when you open an app, but you can also enable/disable it manually:
- go to set up
- Enter Screen
- enable option mission Board

Why is the Galaxy Z Fold 4 taskbar so useful?
The first interest in the Samsung taskbar is that it makes it easier to navigate between multiple apps. You can dynamically show and hide it with a simple long press at the bottom of the screen. Best of all, you no longer have to close apps or switch between apps via the recent apps carousel.
You have six fixed locations for quick access to the following apps: Phone, Messages, Samsung Internet, Samsung Notes, Gallery, and Camera. Sadly, the six slots are not interchangeable or modifiable. In addition to this there are two additional slots reserved for recently opened applications.
Another benefit of the Samsung taskbar is that it allows you to organize the Galaxy Z Fold 4’s home screen more intuitively, and with simple drag-and-drop gestures, you can split two apps or switch apps to windowed mode. Again, you can do all of this without having the app open in the foreground.
I know I’m crazy about the details of Android overlays. But this is Samsung’s well-thought-out system. We’ve been haunted by these organic, intangible tech stories. With the taskbar, I think Samsung offers a small game-changer in terms of productivity, immersion, and intuitiveness.
And you, what do you think of this taskbar on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4? Did you know it could land on a manufacturer’s old foldable smartphone?
