Your Galaxy Z Fold 6 is incorporating important features from the Google Pixel.
**Multi-tasking**
If you have a Galaxy Z Fold 6, there's good news for you. The upcoming Samsung One UI 7 update will incorporate two features from Google Pixel devices into your phone. As reported by Android Headlines, the “Swipe to continue” feature and the auto-hiding taskbar will be included in the update.
The “Swipe to continue” function aims to improve the transition between using apps on the inner and outer displays. It provides users with increased control over how and when apps shift from the larger internal screen to the smaller external cover screen. Essentially, this feature enhances the foldable experience by making app transitions more user-friendly and intuitive.
On the other hand, the auto-hiding taskbar optimizes screen space and minimizes distractions. It automatically conceals the navigation bar (or taskbar) located at the bottom of the screen when it’s not being used. This capability enhances your viewing experience, especially during video playback, photo browsing, or gaming, by allowing for a more immersive display.
On the Galaxy Z Fold 6, you can choose between two settings for the taskbar: “Auto-hide when apps are opened” and “Stay on screen.” Selecting the first option requires a half-swipe from the bottom of the screen to access the taskbar, while choosing the second option keeps the toolbar visible at all times.
The eagerly anticipated Samsung One UI 7 update has been undergoing beta testing since late last year, with the first stable version expected to launch in April. The Galaxy S25 series is likely to be the first to receive this update, followed by older devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6. This update, which is built on Android 15, brings several improvements focusing on personalization, efficiency, and seamless connectivity within the Galaxy ecosystem.

The One UI 7 update has made my Galaxy S25 Ultra significantly more enjoyable.
After using the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra for 10 days, I've noticed that the most positive and negative aspect of this new flagship is its familiarity. The known design is advantageous since Samsung has provided necessary upgrades like enhanced battery life, improved skin color temperature in cameras, and more, without drastically altering the hardware.
However, Samsung could have taken more risks with the Galaxy S25 Ultra instead of playing it safe. It felt like just another minor update—until I installed the latest Home Up update from One UI 7. This update introduced new, customizable ways to engage with the phone and allowed for true personalization.
**Samsung users, take note: One UI 7 may disrupt your home screen layout.**
If you haven't upgraded to the most recent version of One UI 7, make sure to take a screenshot of your current home screen before doing so. Some reports indicate that the upgrade could rearrange your home screen like a disordered Scrabble box. One UI 7 offers fewer grid layout options than its predecessor, primarily because it now accommodates the Now Bar.
One UI 6 supported grid layouts of 4x5, 4x6, 5x5, and 5x6. In contrast, One UI 7 limits support to just 4x6 and 5x6, as per Android Authority. If your home screen is currently set to one of the layouts that are no longer supported, you will notice changes after upgrading and will need to determine how to rearrange your home screen thereafter.
**The Galaxy Z Flip 7’s camera specifications are concerning.**
The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the next version of Samsung's foldable "flip" phone, but the latest leaks indicate that there will be no hardware changes to the cameras. It is expected that the Z Flip 7 will come with the same setup as the Z Flip 6, featuring a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 10MP selfie camera.
However, hope for upgrades isn't entirely lost. Even though the hardware appears similar, Samsung intends to enhance the phone’s software, which could lead to improved photography. For instance, the S25's ProVisual Engine (or a variant) may be included with the Z Flip 7, according to GalaxyClub. This suite of AI-driven tools allows you to modify and enhance even mediocre photos into something remarkable.
