Live Transcribe’s new dual-screen mode won’t work on all foldables: Here’s why
  • The Live Transcribe app’s new dual-screen mode isn’t supported on every foldable phone.
  • This feature uses the outside screen to show transcriptions and your typed responses to others.
  • The reason this feature isn’t available on all foldables is because many of them don’t support Android’s dual-display mode.

At its Made by Google event earlier this month, Google announced the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the company’s second-generation book-style foldable. Alongside the new foldable, Google also rolled out an update to Live Transcribe that brings a new dual-screen mode for foldable phones. Many assumed this new dual-screen mode would be available on all foldables, but it’s actually only available on foldables from Google and Samsung. Here’s why.
