Like the old People Edge feature, you can swipe from the top right or left of the edge screen (depending on what you picked in the settings) and out will slide a menu. This will show you your top 5 favorite friends and will let you call or text them directly. Any contacts can be added and colors can be changed for each one. The new App Edge is exactly the same, only with apps. To open it, open People Edge and swipe one more time. The menu will now show your favorite apps. Select your favorite top 5 apps and you now have quick access to them no matter where you are on your device.

While this feature is definitely wanted by many, it's not as good as Glovebox. I have written a full guide on how amazing Glovebox is and why I love it on my S6 Edge. It does basically the same thing, but can also add widgets, more apps, folders, almost anything you would like. Plus, it works on any Android device. However, for those of you who don't want to install any additional apps, App Edge is a great new feature.

  1. My us cellular s6 edge just got the app edge update. It is definitely nice to have, especially from any screen on the phone.

    I also use glove box and omni swipe just for added functionality and I must they all work quite well together.

    Can’t wait to see what they do next
