UI 4.0 Update - Edge Screen

[STRSSD]

So I recently did the update of UI 4.0 to my S20+ and now my Edge panel is worthless to me. I used it as a shortcut to frequently used apps and they disappeared and now I can't even edit to put them back on. What's the point of a system update if Damsung is just going to take away features. 

For example I remember a time (I think it was the Galaxy S4) where I could 'flip' a picture and write a note on the back of it. I miss that. Also, I remember a time where you could change your font, can't do that anymore either. 😔

Wow...I miss that flip photo and write on the back as well. It was on my Note3. I want this feature back too. Very useful.

For the frequent app on Edge screen, I still have it on my edge screen thou.

You can go to:

Settings → Display → Edge PaneIs → Panels

Choose the Apps panel. You can also click edit to add 5 more apps in the panel. But Seems like they removed the group icons feature thon.

[STRSSD]

Oh I've done that but when I touch "Edit", it does NOTHING.

SOOOOO ANNOYED! 🤬

[Tallman]

Try go to Settings → Apps

Enable show system app

Look for Edge Panels → Storage

Clear data and cache

Restart your phone and see if you can edit it.

Hi STRSSD, I request you to try the suggestions provided by Tallman, and if it doesn't resolve then backup and reset. Here are the steps to backup your data:

Backup from Samsung account--Apps > Settings > Cloud > Backup > Select the data > Back up now.

Backup from Google account--Apps > Settings > Backup and reset.

Here are the steps for factory reset, Settings>>General management>>Reset>>Factory data reset>>Scroll down to the bottom and tap on Reset>> Delete All.

Oddly enough, my Edge screen appeared this morning after doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
