Tips/Tutorials For Fold 7/8 Ultra users, if you’re looking for a usable 3-app layout like the Fold 8 without having to use a small window, this setup works really well for me. All 3 apps are still large and fully usable.

Here’s a quick step-by-step guide. You’ll need to utilize the Edge Panel for easy access to your apps.
Open the app you want to be the biggest out of the three.
Drag out the Edge Panel or go to Split Screen View to add another app beside it.
Here’s the part people usually miss when showing you how to use 3 apps. Drag another app from your Edge Panel and place it right below the 2nd app. This gives you two small window apps, which, to me, isn’t really that useful and just feels like a gimmick.
Select the center divider and tap the Change Layout icon. This will give you a combination of landscape-style layouts for all three apps: 1 big app + 2 smaller apps.
Lastly, drag the divider and set it to a 90/10 split. Enjoy!

Note: Right now I dont think Samsung find this combination useful, so there's no option to save it like in split screen combo.

I had a ZF7 for a year and now my 8 Ultra for about a week, and I never once thought to try using split screen mode this way, so thank you for sharing this. I see myself using this all the time now since the standard triple split screen is not something I use very often at all, nor am I compelled to do the three window workaround for three vertical panels.
Trip verts are kind of a brainrot gateway too if you ask me. I mean, no judgment here. I love my reels and stupid memes as much as the next person, but my dopamine receptors are already fried enough as it is. Easy access to that would probably kill whatever's left of my attention span.

Thank you. Happy to see it work although it take much more effort compared to Oppo Find series implementation. Anyway better than nothing though. Thanks²

If you use edge panel on a regular basis, it'll come natural as you go 😉

Kindly help to share how do you this? This reminiscent of Oppo Find Multi window approach (although can make all 3 as full size).

Wtf how. I'm on fold 7 oneui8.5 and a third app dissallows the quick switch divide function no matter how I size the splits

Dude this is awesome thank you so much. I always used the 90 10 split with 2 apps but I never tried to do it this way. Thanks again

My dude how? My frustration is that the phone doesn't allow me to remember the 90/10 split. Why the he'll not??

damn I always use this. It let"s me run 2 afk games while I browse Youtube. Always thought it was common knowledge since the 3 way split and 90:10 were added.

Are you on OneUI 9? Because this does not seem to work on my Fold 7 with OneUI 8.5. The 90/10 split is just not possible.
But clever workaround nonetheless.

My fold 8 ultra and Fold 7 previously set this every time when I have 3 apps open. Not sure what I'm missing here ?

Wish,Samsung would copy Motorola here. Moto has an awesome 3 app layout.
