On top of that, Google added changes in Android 10 that offer improved resizable activity, multi-resume functionality, and an updated Android Emulator, which are meant to help support multiple display type switching.

According to Samsung, hundreds of app have been optimized for the Galaxy Fold, including services from companies like Amazon Prime Video, App in the Air, Facebook, iHeartMedia, Microsoft, Spotify, Twitter, VSCO and more.

Thanks to the new App Continuity and Multi-Active Window features, Galaxy Fold users will be able to browse, watch, connect and multitask effortlessly. The foldable smartphone lets you switch from the cover display to the main display and run multiple apps simultaneously.

All the optimized apps and service, along with others, have been released and are now available in the Android ecosystem for the Galaxy Fold in the Google Play Store and Galaxy Store.
