Samsung has led the foldable phones market since the introduction of the Galaxy Fold in 2019, but Google was first released with new smart software features in its Pixel fold and its Pixel 9 Pro fold. Some of these features are now starting to go to Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Swipe to continue
Jeff Springer of Sammyguru reports that an IU 7 allows the swipe function to continue, allowing you to continue using an application on the cover screen after closing the phone.
To access Swipe to continue on Z Fold 6, slide up from the bottom of the cover screen before the screen locking goes up. Not all applications are taken care of, but multitasking is considerably improved for those who are.

Automatic cache taskbar
Another new addition is the automatic cache taskbar, revealed by 9TO5google. Introduced by Google in Android 13, the new taskbar can replace the still active taskbar in Samsung and appears only if necessary.
Activate the taskbar of the automatic cover with a U-turn at the top of the bottom of the screen, as you can on iPad. Choose if you want the taskbar to disappear when you open an application, then be recalled with a half to the top, or stay visible and display recent and suggested applications.
When do these features come to my phone?
These new features are currently exclusive to the Galaxy Z Fold 6, but they will take place on other Galaxy Z Fold models from April 2025.
