One UI 4.1.1 includes the taskbar feature that debuted with Android 12L software earlier this year. The new taskbar lets users quickly switch between apps to enable quick navigation between apps. In addition, there are new features for split screen and pop-up windows.
Samsung One UI 4.1.1 has evolved this feature a lot so the taskbar is only visible when you are using an application or two or three. And, it automatically disappears when you are on the home screen of your foldable phone.
