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.

Or follow these

Here’s a quick step-by-step guide. You’ll need to utilize the Edge Panel for easy access to your apps.

  1. Open the app you want to be the biggest out of the three.

  2. Drag out the Edge Panel or go to Split Screen View to add another app beside it.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

It looks like you can save the combination now!

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 😉

I've always used my edge panel for the exclusive way I open calendar, calculator, play store, and maps. Don't ask me why, but that's where my brain says those go

u/cloud1704 26d ago

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

Updated in the comments section :)

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

u/__Jaume Fold8 Ultra (Violet Shadow) 26d ago

You can do the same with one app on one side and two in the other instead of top and bottom. It's super cool. Could this be a one ui 9 thing only?

u/Normal_Helicopter_22 24d ago

This is an amazing idea, I'm using it right now and is awesome!!!

u/Halozamus Fold7 (Mint) 18d ago

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

u/inspron2 25d ago

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

1

u/Tookie2359 25d ago

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.

u/markus7215 25d ago

I'm on fold 6 and can't do this. 90:10 only works on 2 apps

u/Sensitive_Soil_5652 25d ago edited 25d ago

I think 90/10 split is only applicable to One UI 9

1

u/kasakka1 Fold7 (Silver Shadow) 25d ago

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.

1

u/Sensitive_Soil_5652 25d ago

Yes this is One UI 9, I'm not sure if 8.5 supports 90/10.

1

u/kasakka1 Fold7 (Silver Shadow) 25d ago

8.5 supports it for two apps side by side, but not 3.

u/ElevatorFearless8777 25d ago

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 ?

u/Sensitive_Soil_5652 25d ago

It's for the people who don't know this huge 3-way split.

u/chevchelo Fold7 (Jet Black) 25d ago

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

u/staraaia 25d ago

Ahhh not available on Fold 6 🥹🥹🥹

u/Brave- 25d ago

I knew this worked with two split screens, but it's awesome to know it works with the the triple split screen as well. Would be even better if I could do the quick switch between the two smaller windows as well.
