Is the s pen not supposed to work on the front screen?

Well, that just stinks! Maybe they will fix it in an update.

That's not how it works, I'm afraid.

It's not a software thing, it requires hardware for the pen to function, it's based on Wacom tech and requires a Wacom digitizer layer in the screen itself.

No updates, hopefully next fold device, they use 2 different screens and would probably need 2 different spen the outer screen like regular phone and inner is softer screen

I think you could use the same spen on both screens. I use my fold edition on my tab S8+ fine. I personally think it would be a bad idea to have different spens for each screen.

Probably wear out the tips faster

Yep and if you used the wrong pen on the inner screen you might carve it up like a Thanksgiving turkey

Well then having a front screen Spen is not of interest to me, I have zero interest in having 2 different spens. The front screen is really to small for using a spen IMO anyway.

That would be nice, not for me I don't want 2 separate spens. So hopefully they can figure out how to do one Spen for both

That's a possibility. Only 2 things I can think of is mistakenly using the wrong end on inside screen and that would make it difficult to make a silo for Spen, at least the traditional Spen silo we know, which I'm fine with but most seem to want that.
