"The apps that work brilliantly in a standard Android setup don't always work so well when you're dealing with a dual display. Specifically, anything involving your Android home screen is suddenly in a whole new universe. It kinda makes sense, when you really stop and think about it: On a typical Android device - the type 99% of Homo sapiens carry around and that we've all traditionally been using for years now"
"With a foldable - whether it's the freshly released Pixel 10 Pro Fold (better known as the latest Pixel Fold, to anyone who isn't a complete psychopath) or any of the other foldables from Google, Samsung, Motorola, or whoever - you've effectively got two totally different home screens to contend with. There's that external display home screen, which is the equivalent of the standard Android home screen on any other device,"
Foldable phones present two distinct home screens: a smaller external display and a larger internal display with different shapes and layouts. Most Android home-screen apps and launchers are designed for single-display devices and therefore do not adapt effectively to dual-display configurations. The result is inconsistent or suboptimal behavior for home-screen-related features on foldable devices. Common Android launchers often lack thoughtful handling for separate external and internal home screens. One launcher exists that serves as an exception by providing proper support across both displays, improving usability on foldable devices such as the Pixel 10 Pro Fold and models from Google, Samsung, and Motorola.
