Samsung’s Changes to Edge Panels
Samsung’s new One UI 7.0 update brings many features, but it also marks the end of Edge Panel downloads. Users running One UI 7 will lose access to download any new Edge Panels. Current panels remain usable, but uninstalled ones can’t be retrieved, even if purchased.
What Are Edge Panels?
Edge Panels allow for quick access to apps and features on Samsung devices. They can be customized, but this customization option is now limited. While existing panels can still be used, any uninstallation leads to permanent loss.
Impact on Users
Users on older software can still download new Edge Panels from the Galaxy Store for now. However, Samsung has not set a timeline for how long this will continue. Be prepared for the possibility that all custom panels may disappear in the future.
Conclusion
One UI 7.0 offers many benefits, but Edge Panels seem to be on the chopping block. Users should be aware of the limitations now in place and plan accordingly.
