Meanwhile, if you activate or enable the Edge panels feature on your Samsung phone, it appears on the right side. However, if you’re left-handed then that causes headaches for you. 

What Are Samsung Phone Edge Panels?

If you want to accomplish something on your phone, you usually have to exit the current app and go to the next one. What if you could use any device to launch your favorite applications and tasks? The goal of Samsung Galaxy smartphones’ “Edge Panels” is to achieve this.

Edge Panels are a type of tiny drawer that slides out from the screen’s side. It’s most commonly used for program shortcuts, but it’s capable of much more. Contacts, weather, reminders, tools, and even your clipboard all have their own panels.

You can even download extra Edge Panels from the Galaxy Store if you want to get really creative with it. Edge Panels have been made for sticky notes, a calculator, a voice recorder, and a variety of other useful items.

Edge Panels allow you to easily move between programs and complete other little actions without having to leave your current app. You should give it a go if you haven’t already.
