It comes with firmware version F926USQS2DVHE and includes the September 2022 security patch.

    What's new in Galaxy Z Fold 3's Android 12L (One UI 4.1.1) update?

    The Android 12L update for the Galaxy Z Fold 3 brings the new taskbar to the smartphone. It makes it easier to pin your favorite apps or app pairs. You can drag and drop those apps for split-screen multitasking. App switching gets easier, too. You can use window handles on the top of each app to switch between full-screen, split-screen, and pop-up views.

    Samsung has added a new multitouch gesture to open the split-screen multitasking mode. It's easier to switch between the main and cover screen when using the cameras. It's also easier to capture selfies using the rear-facing cameras. Flex Mode gets the touchpad feature with the One UI 4.1.1 update.

    With the new update, the Galaxy Z Fold 3 gets the ability to extract text from an image or live camera feed. Extracted text can be shared to other apps, translated to another language, or get recommended actions. Samsung Keyboard can open the camera feed to extract text, offer kaomojis, and spacebar row customization. It allows easier rearrangement of expressions buttons.

    The My Files app now has a much better file search algorithm. It can search for information within files, such as documents and images. Search results can be filtered and sorted in various ways. With this new software, you can set different screen smoothness options for cover and main displays. You can select a group of images as a wallpaper collection for the lock screen.
