- There are rumors that Apple is creating innovative foldable devices such as iPhones and IPads. UX designers of websites, apps, or platforms will need to make sure that your all digital touchpoints function and act perfectly on a foldable phone.
- A foldable device will be able to provide better a experience for multitasking (split screens) while also enabling an immersive experience (not split)
- To improve websites and apps on foldable phones:
- Resizable and auto layout.
- Dynamic resizing and auto layout according to each screen size.
- Testing across sizes and devices
- QA testing should be conducted for all screen sizes to ensure a perfect display for all users.
- Visibility of system status
- Users should always be informed about what is going on.
- For a foldable iPhone and IPad, it is expected to support multiple tasks at the same time.
- For a user to have the best experience, the user must be aware of what is happening always especially when going from app to app.
- Sufficient information system
- Essential information for users that they will find useful.
- Not too much content to not overwhelm the user.
- Accessibility
- Make sure that no one is left out when using your app or digital platform, especially for people with special needs, disabilities, or impairments.

- Dark mode and light mode
- Text resizing
- Distinguishable and contrasting colors
