- The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold offers app pair capabilities.
- This allows you to save two specific apps running side-by-side as a home screen shortcut for quick access.
- Google is following in the footsteps of Samsung and Microsoft by finally offering this feature.
The Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold is finally available on store shelves, and there’s no shortage of new software features on offer. However, the device has also gained a popular foldable phone feature that’s been around for a few years now.
We can confirm that the Pixel 9 Pro Fold now supports app pair functionality. For the uninitiated, this means that you can save two apps running side-by-side as a pair for quick access. So if you frequently run Chrome and WhatsApp side-by-side, you can save this combination as a shortcut on your home screen. That way, you simply have to tap the shortcut in question to launch the two apps side-by-side.
