Paper pets that move to the cover when you close the Duo
Does Foldlings: Foldable Friends work on iPhone Duo?
Yes, the developer says so: folding the Duo folds the paper, bending it tips the pets' world, and closing it moves a finished friend onto the cover screen.
- App Store confirmedTechNICKal LLC, the developer, in a submission to FoldHunt on October 18, 2026 and an email that followed it, on the game's site (technickalapps.com) and in the App Store description. Version 1.1 (released October 15, 2026) says folding by closing the iPhone Duo now finishes smoothly.

About Foldlings: Foldable Friends
Foldlings is an origami pet game. Choose a Foldling and a paper, then fold it crease by crease: in Easy you drag each flap into place, and in Hard you pick up every corner yourself. When it’s finished, your new friend comes to life in the Haven, a cut-paper world where you can feed it, play with it, fold it a home and trade it with friends nearby. It’s free on the App Store, for iPhone and iPad.
On the iPhone Duo, the phone itself does the folding. Steps marked with the phone symbol are made by closing the phone, and the paper creases along the hinge. Bend the open phone and the Haven tilts, and close it with a finished friend and they hop onto the cover screen. Open, the Studio, Lanterns, the Paper Shop and the Arcade split into two pages, one on each side of the fold.
