How to Use Flex Mode on Samsung Galaxy Z Flip
Flex Mode on Samsung Galaxy Z Flip activates automatically when you fold the phone to between 75° and 115°, splitting the screen to give you unique hands-free functionality.
How to Enable Flex Mode Panel
- Go to Settings → Advanced Features → Flex Mode Panel.
- Toggle Flex Mode Panel on.
- Select which apps support the Flex Mode panel.
How Flex Mode Works
When you half-fold your Z Flip, the screen splits into two halves:
- Top half: Shows the app content
- Bottom half: Shows the Flex Mode panel with a touchpad, media controls, and shortcuts
Using the Bottom Flex Panel
- Touchpad: Drag two fingers to scroll, one finger to move cursor (like a laptop trackpad)
- Brightness/Volume sliders: Adjust without touching the top screen
- Screenshot shortcut: Tap the camera icon
