The Galaxy Z Fold 7 has taken multitasking to a whole new level – and you might want to try it out before Samsung removes the feature. Released with the stable One UI 8, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 sets itself apart from other Samsung devices like the Galaxy S25 series, which are still in the beta phase of One UI 8. 
While the software is working well overall, there’s an intriguing bug that’s actually improving the multitasking experience for users.
As a book-style foldable, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 excels at multitasking, catering to users who need to juggle multiple tasks on their phone. While this device is primarily about boosting productivity rather than being a flashy foldable, One UI 8 offers a unique feature: the 90:10 multitasking split. This setup lets you run one app on a larger portion of the screen, while a second app occupies a smaller space.
But it’s a bug, not a feature, that’s giving the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s multitasking a surprising boost. First spotted by Reddit user u/traneric1, this bug happens under specific conditions. If you open two apps in the 90:10 split view, then navigate to the Edge Panel settings and back out, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 “forgets” it was in split view. This glitch allows a third app to appear alongside the others. While it’s not perfect – resizing windows doesn’t always work – it shows that Samsung could potentially implement a similar feature in the future.
While this bug isn’t confirmed by Samsung and may eventually be fixed, it hints at what could be an upcoming feature. Competitors like OnePlus, with its Open Canvas feature, already allow users to open three apps simultaneously, and many are hoping Samsung will introduce something similar. Although we don’t know when or if this will become an official feature, it could be a game-changer for users of the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
All things considered, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 remains a hit with its sleek design and premium build quality. With its multitasking capabilities and stunning looks, it’s attracting a growing number of foldable fans. Meanwhile, Apple is preparing to release its first foldable iPhone in the coming year, so the competition for the foldable market is heating up.
