Per-app zoom controls on Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8
Android Authority • • technology
Key Points:
- Samsung is developing a new accessibility feature for its Galaxy Z Fold 8 that allows users to set individual zoom levels for different apps, a capability not previously available on Android.
- The per-app zoom control is currently hidden as an experimental option under Settings -> Advanced features -> Labs on the Galaxy Z Fold 8, but is absent on the Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 models for now.
- Users can choose from five zoom levels for supported apps, though Samsung’s own apps are notably not included in the list at this stage.
- The feature affects app interfaces differently; for example, Google Maps zooms both UI and content effectively, while Chrome only scales the UI without enlarging page content.
- As the Galaxy Z Fold 8 foldables are still running pre-release firmware, Samsung may refine or expand the feature before the official retail launch on August 7.
