Pixel Fold gets useful OnePlus Open feature in Android 15 DP2
Google has started rolling out Android 15 Developer Preview 2 to Pixel smartphones recently. Some features were reported on straight away, others are trickling in as we speak. One such feature concerns the company’s only foldable phone. The Pixel Fold got a really useful OnePlus Open feature as part of Android 15 DP2.

We’re talking about a screen lock feature when you’re switching screens (from main to cover). So, on the OnePlus Open and OPPO Find N3 (OPPO had that feature on previous devices too), you have some options when switching to the cover screen.
You can, for example, set the phone to automatically power on the cover display, and allow you to carry on where you left off when you fold the device. Alternatively, you can set it to require a swipe up when you do that, just in case you don’t want to use the phone any longer, and you fold it to leave it to the side.
Well, the Pixel Fold’s feature is basically a copy of that. It works the same way, but it doesn’t allow you to choose which apps will utilize the feature. Both OnePlus and OPPO devices do allow you to do that. They’re offering more choices.
‘Swipe up to continue’ option has landed
In any case, on the Pixel Fold, if you have Android 15 DP2 installed, you can navigate to Settings -> Display -> Continue using apps on fold, in order to take advantage of the feature.
In Android 15 DP1, there were three options. You were able to choose between ‘Always’, ‘Only games, videos and more’, and ‘Never’. The ‘Always’ setting means that the cover display will turn on when you fold the device, every time.
‘Only games, videos and more’ means that it will include for apps that stock your screen going idle, such as games. ‘Never’ means that the display will lock when you fold the device.
Well, in Android 15 DP2, the second option got replaced with ‘Swipe up to continue’, which is a great choice by Google. This option enables that swipe up motion if you plan on using the cover display when you fold the device. If you don’t do that, the screen will automatically lock itself after a couple of seconds.
