Google’s Pixel 9 Pro Fold is finally catching up with a must-have camera feature that maximizes its inner screen. The update lets you split the display—half for the viewfinder, half for reviewing recent shots—mirroring what the newer Pixel 10 Pro Fold launched with.
Feature Breakdown
Tap the preview button below the shutter, and the inner screen shows your latest photos (with scrolling) alongside a standard 4:3 or 16:9 viewfinder, ditching the full-screen stretch. A shortcut at the bottom jumps straight to Google Photos. It’s perfect for foldable selfies or propped-up shots using the outer screen.
Why It Matters Now
Competitors like Galaxy Z Folds and Vivo X Folds have offered this for ages, boosting productivity on big foldable displays. Google held out on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold until now, but reader tips confirm it’s rolling out server-side—no update needed yet. The original Pixel Fold might miss out due to its different design.
