Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold is a revolutionary phone that offers a unique folding experience. But the real magic lies in the software, with Google adding several clever features that enhance both the Fold’s unique form factor and larger-screen Android devices in general. Here are five of the most useful tricks to uncover:

**1. Unfold Your Auto-Rotate Choices**

The Pixel 9 Pro Fold lets you customize auto-rotate. You can enable it for the spacious inner screen while keeping it off for the folded outer screen, preventing accidental rotations and providing convenience when needed.

**2. The Always-Present Taskbar**

Google’s taskbar on the unfolded Pixel 9 Pro Fold (and Pixel Tablet) makes multitasking a breeze. But did you know you can make it permanently visible? Just navigate to the system settings and you’ll find the option to toggle the taskbar’s behavior.

**3. Unlock with a Touch, Even When the Screen is Off**

The fingerprint sensor in the power button of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Pixel Tablet allows for instant unlocking, even with the screen off. It’s a small change that makes a big difference in speed and convenience.

**4. Manually Adjust App Aspect Ratios**

Larger screens mean more space, but some apps don’t always utilize it effectively. The Pixel’s settings allow you to manually adjust app aspect ratios for a better fit on your device.

**5. Resize Google Keep Panels on the Fly**

A recent update to Google Keep lets you resize the app’s panels (note list and active note) by pressing and holding the separator line and dragging it to the left or right. It’s a subtle but handy feature for better organization.

These five hidden tricks are just a glimpse of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold’s potential. Explore the software and discover even more ways to make the most of your large-screen Android experience.
