Analysts, enthusiasts, and industry observers are watching closely to see how this story develops.<\/p>\n<p>This update adds another signal to a fast-moving sector where product decisions, platform changes, and competition can quickly shape the market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Affiliate links on Android Authority may earn us a commission. Learn more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Samsung\u2019s DeX mode underwent massive changes last year, as the company dropped its legacy desktop experience in favor of a rebuilt mode in partnership with Google. Unfortunately, this rebuilt experience lacked several legacy DeX features, including a toggle to automatically hide the taskbar. Thankfully, a One UI 8.5 update brings good news.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"anp-pro-inline-figure\" style=\"margin:1.75em auto;text-align:center;max-width:100%\"><img class=\"anp-pro-inline-img\" src=\"https:\/\/gamingtodaynews.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Samsung-Dex-One-UI-8.5-auto-hide-taskbar-toggle-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"margin:0 auto;max-width:100%;width:auto;height:auto;object-fit:contain;object-position:center\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">A recent One UI 8.5 update for the Galaxy S26 series has resurrected the Auto hide taskbar toggle. This feature can be accessed by tapping Settings &gt; Connected Devices &gt; Samsung DeX &gt; Connected Display. You can then scroll down and find the toggle below the screen timeout option.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">We\u2019re glad to see this toggle in DeX once again, as it means we\u2019ve now got an easier way to hide the taskbar when going full-screen. Samsung\u2019s rebuilt DeX did let you enter an immersive mode when maximizing an app, although it wasn\u2019t very intuitive. This entailed clicking and holding on the maximize button until a menu popped up, then tapping the immersive option. This would indeed hide the taskbar, but Samsung didn\u2019t make this option easy to find. So the auto-hide toggle is a far more convenient solution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Samsung has also revived a couple of other legacy features since it launched the rebuilt DeX. This includes the on-screen keyboard location option and a toggle to output sound through the connected display. In any event, we hope the company continues to revive old features and bring new additions to its desktop experience.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"anp-pro-inline-figure\" style=\"margin:1.75em auto;text-align:center;max-width:100%\"><img class=\"anp-pro-inline-img\" src=\"https:\/\/gamingtodaynews.site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x-35.png\" alt=\"\" style=\"margin:0 auto;max-width:100%;width:auto;height:auto;object-fit:contain;object-position:center\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"anp-pro-p\">Thank you for being part of our community.
