Key points
- Galaxy Z Fold 8 users report app scaling problems.

Addressing App Scaling on Foldable Displays
The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, unveiled at the July Unpacked event, offers expanded screen real estate. However, some owners are encountering difficulties with applications not scaling correctly on the phone's internal 4:3 display. This issue arises because apps may not automatically adapt to the changing aspect ratios of a foldable device.
Adjusting Aspect Ratios via Settings
Users can manually adjust an app's aspect ratio. To do this, unfold the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and navigate to Settings > Display > Aspect ratio. Depending on the One UI sub-menu, this option might also be found through Settings > Apps. From this screen, users can select a specific app and choose between full screen, 4:3, or 16:9 aspect ratios. Changes may require background apps to restart.
Alternative Method for Aspect Ratio Adjustment
Another method to modify an app's aspect ratio involves pressing and holding the app icon, then tapping the info button. From there, users can select 'App aspect ratios' to set the desired default. Even with manual adjustments, some apps may still exhibit awkward positioning or cropping if they have not been optimized for foldable screens.
