One UI 9 Restores Tablet Taskbar Auto-Hide in Samsung DeX

One UI 9 restores tablet DeX taskbar auto-hide and adds left, center, and right positioning, per Android Authority.

The feature was found by a Reddit user testing a Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra, the report says. On the tablet, the setting works directly rather than being limited to an external monitor. In standalone DeX, users can hide both the taskbar and the status bar, according to Android Authority. When DeX is running on an external display, the option can hide the taskbar.

Samsung is also adding more freedom to position the regular tablet taskbar. The taskbar can be placed on the left, center, or right, the report says.

The missing controls followed Samsung's switch to the new desktop mode in Android 16. Several familiar DeX controls disappeared in One UI 8. Samsung has gradually restored some of them, including an auto-hide taskbar option that returned on phones with One UI 8.5. Tablets were left out of that return, Android Authority says. One UI 9 appears to close that gap while adding the taskbar positioning option.

The report does not provide a release date for One UI 9 or say when the feature will reach more devices. Android Authority's information comes from a Reddit user testing a Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra.
