Lock Screen button on edge panel disappeared suddenly most probably after an upgrade. From edge screen in Galaxy store, lock screen option is showing but when I am trying to download and use it lock screen option is not listed. Please suggest.

Are you talking about the SoftKey Edge? Probably the lock screen button has been removed from the new version.

Hmm. that's what it looks like but it doesn't make sense. new versions are supposed to be better. I downloaded softkey edge mostly for screenshot and screen locking only.

I installed SoftKey Edge too, the description said lock sreen button available. But I don't have it too. So here is 2 possibilies:

1. The lock screen button has been removed.

2. This is software bug. Maybe it will be added back in next update.

Read the reviews, or should I say complaints... clearly the lockscreen button is gone.

Hmmm...why would such a basic and useful function be removed? Are they trying to reduce file sizes of updates or was it just overlooked? Maybe fix will come next update...

Hi @GNote10Plus,

 

SoftEdge Panel on the phone is the edge panel offered by a developer called 'Sally Soft'. The device's software updates should not make changes to the apps downloaded on the phone.
