OnePlus Launcher 4.4.7 adds support for Freeform Windows

OnePlus Launcher 4.4.7 adds support for Freeform Windows.

OnePlus Launcher is designed to offer Speed, stability, and customizability. This launcher enables you to easily tailor your home screen to your needs. OnePlus Launcher 4.4.7 has some new features which include support for Android’s Freeform windows as well as bringing the new app switcher.

The New App switcher feature is available from the Oneplus launcher 4.4 beta version but now it has come to a stable version.

In the new app switcher, the cards are slightly smaller and there is a small icon beneath the “card-view”.It replaces the instant “close all” button. The overflow menu is removed and to get the different options you need to tap and hold on the card.

One more interesting part of this UI is the scrollable icon strip below the card. Tap any one of them and you’ll switch immediately to that app. One can also tap and drag on the icon row to quickly scroll through all cards. Through this new feature switching between apps has become faster and more efficient.

The second interesting addition is support for Freeform Windows. Freeform windows let you minimize the app to a floating window that you can drag around the screen.

How to get Freeform Windows option

Enable Developer options on your phone (go to Settings -> About phone and tap the Build number repeatedly, then go back to System -> Developer options). Look for the Enable freeform windows toggle and turn it on. Reboot your phone. Now, when you tap and hold on any card in the app switcher, you’ll see a new Freeform option.

OnePlus Launcher 4.4.7 is rolling out on the Play Store, you can download it from there. You can also download it from APK Mirror.
