How do I use the edge panel?
The edge panel keeps the most important features of your phone tucked to one side, ready to use at a moment's notice. You can use the edge panel to access your favourite contacts, apps, and webpages alongside loads more. The edge panel can appear over apps you are using and can even be accessed when the display is on standby, making sure you have everything you need as soon as you need it.
