According to a leak of system code, Google seems to be optimizing the multi-window experience for folding screens. It is mentioned through the tutorial that the applications in the taskbar can be directly placed on the left and right screens and opened for use at the same time, and the bottom taskbar can be hidden by long pressing the touch screen (it will also be automatically hidden when entering full screen).

If you think the above experience may be an adjustment for Android tablets. The source also mentioned that Android 12.1 also has further improvements to the SystemUI interface animation of the unfolded screen, and can also support the corresponding display of the status of the hinge sensor. There are also optimizations for the execution functions of double-sided panels.
