Easier way to keep that taskbar up and keep gesture navigation. Simply pull up the taskbar then hold the divider between your taskbar apps and the search icon. This will prompt a "always allow taskbar" just click it and it will stay at the bottom and keep gesture navigation.

This is a timely and handy guide. I apreciate the consistency, Shane! Now we're waiting on an emulation test 😎. Fingers crossed for 3DS testing, but if it's too tricky, it's all good.

Right on time! Just got mine yesterday and I’m a first time Google user. Thanks!

[Monsuay]

Thought I had it all figured out 😂, but as usual you come through, appreciate you showing things I missed. Enjoying my fold.

The video I was most eagerly anticipating!

[hueandsteve]

That was a very helpful video, thanks for taking the time to make.

[sushislushy]

High value video, very useful tips thanks

[angusbolton]

Thanks Shane, best tips and tricks for fold I've found so far

[bigmeany]

Very helpful information thank you. I just got a Pixel 9 Fold switched from iPhone 13, this really helped.

My favorite way to screenshot: say "Hey Google, screenshot."

[koalarap]

Great video - as a new fold 9 owner some useful tips I was not aware of

[JailenRamone]

Excellent overview video Shane. This is the first Android phone I have had in almost 15 years (😅). I'm happy I chose the pixel 9 pro fold. I'm starting to believe this is the one of the best mobile devices that has been released in a while, and I feel like Google knows it, hence why they released this around the same time of the iPhone 16. Again great content.

Nice video, in Canada this phone is around $1300 off right now so I jumped on the deal. Arrives next week.

[leonedion]

Does this have something like the Samsung dex

[alienshroom]

Thanks for the tips. Some of the stuff I already had on coming for my pixel 7 pro. Still getting used to this thing.

Not sure if you went over this in a video but is there away with fold to zoom in on a YouTube video? Has there been an update?

[mullenstudio]

Just switched from SD2. I think some multi-tasking features are missing and want to know if there's already way to do that natively: 1) when there's already app(s) running and I want to open another app in split screen, I can't open it from home launcher easily(like the ways from taskbar, all apps, etc.) 2) For apps in split screen, can't close one of them by swiping up in the switch app view (will close both). 3) can't easily take screenshot for one app in split screen.
Btw, I really want to switch back to Microsoft launcher. I can accept the unoptimized home layout for foldable phone, but the blocking issue is it can't open an app in split screen.

I got to review this episode again but I must say that Google has enabled the expandability and the granular control over each and every component of a utility function or feature behavior. This episode has delved into some useful features and utilities. 😎💯💪🏾👍🏾

[ShinySoupMan]

If you have 2 apps open in split screen, can you close the right app only and open a new one in it's place, keeping the left app open?

Hey @scaryifliteral 9 Fold owner here! Thanks for the great video. I'm curious, what case did you have on your phone in this video? I'm still trying to find a good one that doesn't make the phone too bulky, while still offering great protection. Thanks!
