Summary
Pixel 11 Pro Fold now includes App Handles, a new multitasking tool that lets users pin multiple apps to the bottom-right corner and reopen them with a swipe-up gesture.
Built on Google’s Bubbles system, the feature turns dragged apps into fixed floating windows, aiming to make foldable multitasking quicker and less finicky than standard freeform pop-ups.
On the inner display, App Handles can sit alongside 2-app split screen, adding a third active app layer without taking over the full canvas.
When the phone is closed, those pinned apps convert into Bubbles on the cover screen, extending the same workflow across both displays.
Google has already released the Pixel 11 Pro Fold, and the report says App Handles will likely reach older Pixel Fold models in future Android updates.
