Flex Window is one of the key highlights of the new Galaxy Z Flip 5. Samsung has given the cover screen a new name, and it's now called Flex Window.
The Flex Window offers over a dozen of widgets, wallpapers, and customization options.
The Flex Window can be easily customized using the One UI lock screen customization options as well as Good Lock Plugin.
Samsung adds a new option to the Settings, which lets you select apps optimized to run on the Flex Window. Keep in mind that all apps are not optimized for the cover screen yet.
Currently, the Flex Window can run these apps - Google Maps, YouTube, Google Messages, WhatsApp, Netflix, and Samsung Messages.
We can expect more third-party apps to support the Flex Window in the future.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 users can easily access new widgets by swiping left from the home screen, notifications are accessible with a right swipe.
Samsung has been working on the next big One UI upgrade, One UI 6.0 based on Android 14, we can expect more new features coming to the Flip 5.
One UI 6.0 beta is expected to be released in the first week of August and Galaxy Z Flip 5 users don’t need to wait too long to get access to the new OS.
