TL;DR<\/p>\n

    \n
  • One UI 9 beta introduces a new toggle for Multi Window Mode.<\/li>\n
  • The toggle allows you to show or hide app handles in split-screen view.<\/li>\n
  • App handles are shown by default and cannot be hidden in One UI 8.5.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    This week, Samsung started rolling out the first beta of One UI 9 for the Galaxy S26 in South Korea, Germany, and the UK. The Android 17-based update is bringing several notable changes, like more quick panel customization and text spotlighting. Not mentioned in the changelog, there appears to be a new setting for multi window mode.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    If you’re unfamiliar with Multi Window Mode, it’s a multitasking feature that allows you to view two apps simultaneously on a split screen. When you enter this mode, a bar will appear between the two apps, which can be used to change the size of the windows. You’ll also see app handles at the top of the screen. These handles let you change apps, open an app in a pop-up window, maximize an app, or close it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
