But how you go about using the cover screen and its different features isn't always an obvious task. Below, I'll walk you through different ways to use the cover screen, so you can get more out of the Z Flip 4.

When your Z Flip 4 is sitting on a table or your desk, the cover screen stays off to conserve battery life. If you want to check the time quickly, battery level or you just heard a notification come in; you simply double-tap on the cover screen. It'll light up after the second tap, providing you a quick glance at as much or as little information as you want.
Open the camera app by double-pressing the power button/fingerprint sensor. A moment later, you'll see yourself on the cover screen. Swipe left or right to switch between portrait, photo and video mode. Swipe up or down on the cover screen to change how much of the photo you see on the display.
When the Z Flip 4 is closed and you receive a phone call, you can either open the phone to answer it, or you can use the cover screen to answer the call using your phone's speaker. You'll see the name, number, and if you have one added to the contacts app, a profile photo for the person calling you.
When you wake the cover screen and see a yellow dot on the screen, that means you have new notifications. Swipe from left to right across the screen to view your notifications tray, where you'll then see your alerts. You can tap on any of the alerts to view more information or, in the case of a messaging app, view the message itself.
As you scroll down and read the message, you can quickly reply to the message with predefined messages right from the cover screen. Just tap on the message you want to send, then tap send when prompted. All of that without ever opening your phone. Neat!
Assuming you have Samsung Wallet (formerly Samsung Pay) installed and set up, here's how you can make a payment using the cover screen. After waking the Z Flip 4, swipe up from the bottom of the screen to reveal your default payment card. If you want to switch cards, swipe across the screen and then touch the fingerprint sensor to authorize payment.
When you wake the cover screen and swipe from right to left across it, you start scrolling through a series of widgets that Samsung created for the small display. There are widgets for things like showing the weather, viewing your day's step count, or viewing your calendar.
You don't have to stick with the widgets that are available by default, nor do you have to stick with the order that the widgets are in. You can add widgets directly on the cover screen by scrolling to the end and tapping on the + icon, but my preferred method is to open the Z Flip 4 and dive into the Settings app.
Once you're in the Settings app and scroll down until you see Cover Screen, select it. On the next screen, tap Widgets, where you'll then be taken to a list of all the cover screen widgets available.
There are several different designs available for you to choose from. The basic clock options have can have a background image of your choice, including photos stored on your phone. You can also customize the color of the text to make it visible over your image of choice. The Graphical clock styles have predefined images that are shown every time you wake the cover screen.
The final gesture left to use on the cover screen is to wake up the phone and then swipe down on the cover screen. There you'll see six quick settings buttons to control various aspects of the Z Flip 4. Things like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Airplane mode, and a slider to adjust the brightness of the cover screen. There are three buttons per page, with a swipe to the left revealing the second half of the options.
Tap and swipe to control your phone and take selfies even when it's folded shut. The cover screen notifies you at a glance, while contextual continuity lets you tap to seamlessly transition to relevant apps as you unfold your phone.
If the phone is folded and locked, press the Side key or double-tap the cover screen to turn on. The time, date and battery information appears first when you double-tap the cover screen.
If a notification requires you to open an app, you can easily switch directly to it. Tap the notification on the cover screen, tap again, and then unfold the phone to directly access the selected app.
Tap cover screen and swipe to right to answer a call or swipe to left to reject it. If you aren't using a headset or Bluetooth audio accessory, the speakerphone will be enabled when you answer a phone call with the phone folded. You can also use Bixby to help you make calls. Simply say, "Hi Bixby, call Mum."
Take selfies using the rear camera and preview on the cover screen without unfolding.
To activate the camera when the device is folded, double-tap the Side key.
Photos can be taken using Volume down key and palm gesture.

The Flip 4 has also added some new tricks to the cover display. Fresh clock types, the ability to use video files as a cover screen background, more intuitive notification interactions, new widgets, and some neat utility tools all give the cover screen a welcome boost.
Once you head into the settings section, you get a ton of options to dictate the behavior of apps being used on the cover screen. For example, you can enable or block the notification contents unless the phone is unlocked, carry over app activity to the inner foldable panel, or adjust the edge lighting system for notifications.
I was able to set up my Twitter account from scratch on the tiny cover display. Plus, I immensely enjoyed the ability to type a text message right on the cover screen. You can either type a text or dictate it using your voice. However, the latter is not very accurate.
Even the brightness and sound toggles are locked behind the paywall. Similar restrictions are in place for interacting with notifications. For example, if you wish to tap on an email notification and seek to read the full content on the cover screen, you have to pay up.
In all the footage I've seen the cover screen appears to be quite bright but I really struggle to use my cover screen unless I'm in a very dark room. Searches have only revealed how to do it for the main screen, is this a product fault or have I somehow reduced the brightness?
neptunepower Do you have the Samsung Good Lock app installed? There should be some pretty nice customization options available for the cover screen through the MultiStar module's "I Foldables option."
Then I was curious if this update contained a fix to my problem, so I tapped twice on the cover screen and swiped over to "tap to add contacts". It prompts to open up the phone and I was in the contacts app which invites me to pick 3 contacts. When I close the phone again, the contacts are NOT on the cover screen !
Hello, I'm currently using a samsung phone and I rely on the quick glance feature on my phones lock screen quite often to check my glucose. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience using the BYOD app with a Z Flip, and mainly if when you swipe to see notifications of the cover screen if you're G6 quick glance would show up?
Hello I am trying to figure out how to adjust the brightness settings on the cover screen on the Z Flip 3. I did a google search and when I went to display settings I could not find an option to adjust the brightness. Thanks in advance!
The bigger cover screen on the Galaxy Z Flip 5 makes the widgets a lot more functional. They essentially take up the entire cover screen to act as "mini" apps. The calendar widget here, as you can see, takes up the entire space to give you a default view of your day with all the scheduled events. Similarly, the other widgets like Weather and Samsung Health cover the entire screen, and you can simply scroll through them to find what you need. This is different from traditional widgets that take up only a portion of the screen to show glanceable information, making you tap on them for an expanded view.
Perhaps the biggest advantage of a large cover screen is having enough space to pull up a full QWERTY keyboard. Being able to type a response as opposed to picking from preset replies or just an emoji is a huge improvement. Samsung won't let you use a third-party keyboard on the outer display, though, meaning you're locked to the company's official keyboard. The outer screen will automatically default to a Samsung keyboard, even if you have a third-party keyboard like Gboard installed on it.
It's not fun juggling two different keyboards, especially if you're not used to Samsung's official keyboard, but I am glad there's at least an option to type. It takes up the majority of the screen when it is deployed, letting you comfortably type your responses. I just wish more applications could take advantage of this on the cover screen because the default selection is quite thin out of the box.
Contrary to all the rumors, you can run full Android apps on the Galaxy Z Flip 5's cover screen. It's not enabled by default, but you can use the "Labs" option in the phone's Settings to run full apps on the outer screen. The selection of supported apps is, once again, quite thin at the moment, but you can expect the list to grow in the future. Here's a list of apps you can use on the cover screen:
