This new software feature is a taskbar that sits at the bottom of the screen, giving you access to your favorite apps at any time. Review: The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is an expensive ticket to productivity heaven But that’s not all it can do. What if you want to hide it, even for a moment? But then how do you get it back?

What is the taskbar on the Galaxy Z Fold 4?
Once you set up the Z Fold 4 and start tapping and swiping between apps, you’ll definitely notice the new taskbar at the bottom of the screen. It looks a lot like the taskbar in Windows 11 or the dock in MacOS, with multiple apps permanently displayed on the left side and, if you choose, recent apps appearing on the right side of the bar. The taskbar works exactly as you’d expect — tap an app icon to open that app or pair of apps — and switch between those apps instantly. Screenshots by Jason Cipriani/ZDNET
Which apps appear on the taskbar?
Again, there are two app sections on the taskbar: The left side is full of apps you want to always have available, while the right side rotates through your recently used apps. To customize which apps appear on the left side, you’ll need to edit the apps that are on the Z Fold 4 display’s internal dock. These apps are then reflected in your taskbar in the same order. Go to the Z Fold 4 main screen, then drag and drop the app icons to the bottom dock. You can add up to eight apps to the bottom row. Photo by Jason Cipriani/ZDNET
How to get rid of recent apps in the taskbar
If you don’t want your most recent apps running on the right side of the taskbar, you can get rid of it by opening the Settings app on your Z Fold 4 and going to Display > Taskbar and then sliding the show recent apps switch to the Off position. Photo by Jason Cipriani/ZDNET
How to open apps from taskbar in split
When you’re in an app and want to switch to another app that’s on your taskbar, you can do so by simply tapping on the app’s icon. The result is an application that opens in full screen. But what if you want to use two or even three apps at the same time? Comfortably. Drag and drop the app icon onto the Z Fold 4 screen. As you do, you’ll see a box that marks the area the app will occupy. You can use two apps in split-screen view, or drag a third app onto the screen to use three apps at once. Even with the Fold 4’s large screen, three apps on the screen gets a bit cramped. But, hey, at least it’s possible. June Wan/ZDNET
How to quickly hide and unhide the taskbar
If you want to temporarily reclaim some screen space by hiding the taskbar, you can do so in one quick move. Just tap and hold on an empty area of the taskbar until it slides down and off the screen to hide. To bring it back, repeat the gesture by tapping and holding an area near the bottom of the screen where it used to be. It may take a few tries to get this second gesture right, but you’ll soon get the hang of it. Photo by Jason Cipriani/ZDNET
How to completely disable the taskbar
Not a fan of the taskbar and want to get rid of it for good? You can. Open the Settings app on your phone, then go to Display > Taskbar and slide the On switch to the Off position.
