When you are not playing a game, the Smart Sidebar is collapsed and displayed as a floating bar. Swiping in on the floating bar opens the Smart Sidebar, which contains shortcuts such as Screen translate, Screenshot, Screen recording, and Notes. You can add other apps to Smart Sidebar if desired.

To adjust the position of the Smart Sidebar, swipe in on the floating bar and hold until the Sma Sidebar shows up, and then drag it to your preferred position.

RAM expansion for super smoothness

To clone an app, both your phone and the app must support App Cloner. If it does not work, the app or phone does not support this feature. Data cannot be transferred between a cloned app and PC. Up to two apps can be cloned at the same time.

Path: Go to "Settings - Apps - App cloner" and choose an app to clone. Apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, LINE, Facebook, imo, Instagram, Skype, Telegram, and WeChat can be cloned.

Multitask with Flexible windows

Flexible windows (formerly FlexDrop) of ColorOS has been optimized to allow you to open multiple app windows on your phone through simple gestures, so you can make full use of the large screen to multitask for work and entertainment easily and efficiently.

To open an app in a floating window, swipe up in the app and hold at the top of the screen.

You can tap menu options in the floating window to switch the app to full screen or to close the window. You can also drag an edge of the floating window to change its size. When minimized, the floating window turns into a mini window, where the elements are not tappable. When maximized, the floating window is displayed in full screen. You can drag files from the floating window to another full-screen app to easily transfer the files.

Flexible windows now has a Button-free mode for a cleaner-looking interface. Turn on this mode in "Settings - Special features - Flexible windows" to hide the "Full screen" and "Close" buttons.

To close a window in this mode, simply double-tap the top of it.

For example, to record the story behind a photo in Photos, you can display the photo in a floati window, create a note, and then directly drag the photo into the note. The whole process can be done in one go and is more direct and smoother than adding the photo into a note in Notes.

A mini window displays app content in real time. A single tap on the center of the mini window will turn it into a floating window, and a double tap will switch it to full screen.

If you switch a video in landscape mode to a floating window, the video will continue to play in landscape mode.

Flexible windows help you multitask more efficiently. For example, you can chat while watching a show, or check documents while having an online meeting. In addition, you can find the last two apps that you opened in a floating window in Smart Sidebar so you can quickly switch to apps when needed.
