Samsung has improved the software and One UI 3.1.1 on its latest Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3 devices to make the experience more seamless. Especially on the new Z Fold 3, the software has a lot more desktop-like features that let users use multiple apps simultaneously and with ease.

Today, Samsung has announced that it will start rolling out One UI 3.1.1 to the Galaxy Z Fold 2 5G, Galaxy Z Flip 5G, and the Galaxy Z Flip, and the original Samsung Galaxy Fold will also receive the update around a week later. 

One UI 3.1.1 offers a lot of new and unique features that let users take advantage of the more screen real estate and the unique form factors.

Samsung One UI 3.1.1’s new feature lets you drag a link to the edge of the screen and open it in a new window to view other content on the screen simultaneously.

The new Multi-Active Window lets you use up to three apps simultaneously on the screen. The apps can be arranged in your customized layout, and a 4th pop-up window can also be added in the center if you want something more.

The new feature allows apps to smoothly transition to the proper UX to match the portrait or landscape aspect ratio. 

Customizable aspect ratios give you the freedom to see and use applications the way it is most comfortable. Instagram cuts off content when using on full screen, but it works well in 16:9, even if there is a lot of wasted space on the sides.

App Split View is available in messages, and it allows you to see the message list on the left of the screen and selected conversations on the right. The feature can now be enabled for apps that do not come with built-in App Split View support.

You can now enable Flex mode in settings for apps that don’t support it by default. The new feature will put buttons on the bottom half of the screen such as brightness, volume, screenshot, and a quick panel.

The edge panel can now be pinned to the edge of the device, making it look and function like a taskbar that we’re all familiar with. You can easily drag & drop applications, open customized split view applications, or open new ones. Everything you need is only one tap away.

The cover screen and the main screen can now be mirrored for a more seamless and intuitive experience. It lets you have the same setup and layout of the home screen on both the cover and main screen.
