Want a cleaner, completely distraction-free view while using your favorite apps? When you use swipe gestures for navigation on your Galaxy Fold, you can instantly show or hide the taskbar to maximize your screen real estate whenever you need to.

 

How to hide and reveal the taskbar

 

1. Ensure Swipe Gestures are enabled:

Set your navigation bar mode to Swipe gestures in your device settings.

2. Hide the taskbar:

To hide the taskbar, touch and hold any empty area directly on the taskbar at the bottom of your screen.

3. Show the taskbar again:

To bring the taskbar back, touch and hold the very bottom edge of the screen where the taskbar normally sits.

    This does not work on fold 8 ultra with oneiu9

    I also tried it on a demo phone in store to measure make sure it wasn't one of my settings and same thing.  It just won't hide with push and hold.  It worked on my previous fold
