The  Edge panel is a feature that is unique to Samsung’s mobile devices. It’s generally paired with Galaxy smartphones that have curved display edges, but  now it’s not exclusive to this design and can also be found on the flat-screened Galaxy smartphones.

Edge panel is essentially a part of Edge Screen. It aims to bring more convenience to the user through shortcuts for apps and app pairs for Split Screen view, along with other features, some of which can’t be accessed elsewhere on the device. Think of it as a different apps drawer that can be accessed anywhere by swiping the Edge panel handle from the edge of the screen towards the center. One that features additional tools and widgets.

Now let us limit our discussion,  we will discuss only the aspects of this edge panel that helps in multitasking.

In simple terms , multitasking is when you do activities at the same time. Multitasking is the neee of the time. So lets see some tips and tricks that make your work more easy.

Open any aap from any screen:

Apps edge is the default panel and can accommodate up to 10 app shortcuts. On any screen just swipe the edge on which side you have set the edge panel,  App edge will open, just tap on the app you want to open.

Open two apps simultaneously from Edge panel.
 
Everyone knows that Samsung smartphones can open two apps at a time on single screen by splitting the screen in to two parts. This is a good feature for the  users who want to use two apps . But you have to open two apps one by one to use them on a single screen  by a specific method. But this Edge panel  allows you to open two apps simultaneously on one screen with just a single  tap.


For this you have to create app pair in the Edge 
Panel.

But  with this Edge panel    I donot have to follow these steps.I have to just tap the app pair that I have created on the  Apps Edge Panel.

Here is the animation that shows how  I open YouTube and Samsung Internet simultaneously just with a tap.
