Z fold 6 not talking to S8 Ultra tablet

Can anyone help and offer advise ? I bought the Z fold 6 so I can pair it with my S8 Ultra tablet to allow the tablet be used as my main screen (eg. Samsung Note to pdf documents or reference textbooks) and the Z fold 6 to work on sepaerately (e.g Samsung notes to annotate the same pdf or make lecture notes). This is via SAMSUNG FLOW. I now realised that simultaneous annotations on both devices are no longer compatible but unsure if its a software glitch.

 I am aware that I can use the Z fold 6's Samsung note to annotate if I left my tablet at home and they will sync via cloud no matter where I am. I am also aware the SHARE function from phone to tablet and vice versa.

 I am asking specifically- using both devices simultaneously to be more productive at the same time. The only app that can use this is Samsung Flow. 

 Anyone able to offer advise. Maybe this you tube will better explain https://youtu.be/yQR1394MqEs

Hi,

I'm using it between S23U and Tab S9 Ultra via Samsung Flow

I can annotate (Samsung notes) simultaneously on both devices. So whatever I do on either device immediately shows it happening on the other.

However, what I've found is to make it so the Spen works on both devices is to turn on 'finger drawing'.

Don't know why the fold would be any different. Sorry

Thank you Robin for your response. I'd was hoping to.be able to do this. As per the pics. I have recently upgraded the software and maybe it's a glitch. I am currently unable to execute both features as per pics 1722436593263.jpg1722436593284.jpg

So, to enable connection between both devices.

● Open Samsung Flow on both devices (ensure both are on the same network and/or Bluetooth is on both)
● Tap 3 dots top rh corner. Tap connect to new phone
● Tap your device
● Acknowledge auth code on both devices
● Tap 3 dots top rh corner. Tap Add apps from phone
● Choose your app (Samsung notes)
● App icon will be added to the homescreen. Tap the icon. The phone screen should now appear on the tablet screen
● Open a note.
● Go into the note settings (from the window on your tablet ). Tap Finger drawing on.1722437757082.jpg1722437757100.jpg1722437757127.jpg1722437757148.jpg

Issues now resolved. I had to contact the Samsung software development department to investigate, and likely, a software update had happened. My Z fold 6 and S 8 ultra tablet are now able to assess each other when both electrical gadgets are left in different rooms(office or home) . Z FOLD 6 can see and control all apps , downloads, and documents on the S8 Ultra tablet remotely and vice versa.
