Here’s how to enable apps into Flex Mode on your Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3?
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Flip 3 come with the ability to force apps into Flex Mode in the Flex Mode panel. This is a nice feature, but it’s not always as good as you might expect. The setting that enables it is also hidden, so today we will find out how to force apps into Flex mode.
It is important to note that this is a lab feature, so it can cause problems with the apps on your smartphone. But fortunately, you can easily turn it off if needed.
How to force apps into Flex Mode on Galaxy Z Flip 3?
- To force apps into Flex mode, you need to go to Settings in your Galaxy Z Flip 3.
- Then scroll down and tap on “Advanced Features”.
- Next, click on “Labs”. It’s halfway across the page.
- Now, you will see an option for “Flex Mode Panel”, tap on it.
- Here, you can toggle the Flex mode on and off for each single app.
- Tap the toggle next to each app you want to enable Flex mode and you’re all ready. It’s very simple.
Some warnings about the Flex Mode panel
However, there are some warnings with similar symptoms. For example, this is the Samsung Lab feature. This means that it may not work properly with every app on your smartphone. If you have problems with this, Samsung recommends turning it off for that app.
Second, the flex mode you see from other apps like YouTube or Camera is not the same, in fact, it is supported locally. Take Google Meet for example, when you enable it for Meet and put it in Flex mode, the app fills the top of the screen. And below is a toolbar with volume, brightness, notification shade pulldown and screenshot buttons.
To be mentioned, unless the app actually supports Flex mode it is not worth forcing it into Flex mode. But it is possible. And how can you do this?
