User manual
For example, to record the story behind a photo in Photos, you can display the photo in a
floating window, create a note, and then directly drag the photo into the note. The whole
process can be done in one go and is more direct and smoother than adding the photo into a
note in Notes.
A mini window displays app content in real time. A single tap on the center of the mini
window will turn it into a floating window, and a double tap will switch it to full screen.
If you switch a video in landscape mode to a floating window, the video will continue to play
in landscape mode.
Flexible windows help you multitask more efficiently. For example, you can chat while
watching a show, or check documents while having an online meeting. In addition, you can
find the last two apps that you opened in a floating window in Smart Sidebar so you can
quickly switch to the apps when needed.
In ColorOS 12.1, Flexible windows now has a Button-free mode for a cleaner-looking
interface. Turn on this mode in "Settings - Special features - Flexible windows" to hide the
"Full screen" and "Close" buttons. To close a window in this mode, simply double-tap the top
of it.
