Edge panels

[Zapp2211]

That's crazy as this is Samsung wants to change everything they want to look like an act like Apple casing point The edge panel they want to actually remove it and not have it anymore after all these years so what you have to do is download everything save it and you'll have it on the 7.0 UI which everything's going to change I wonder why Samsung is doing this I wish they wouldn't I think we all should protest or just send out messages saying not to cancel the edge panel anyway we'll see what happens I hope not I hope people will start writing in and saying do not cancel the edge panel

Save it how?

[Zapp2211]

Just keep it there Don't remove it don't do anything until the 7.0 once a 7.0 is installed when you get it that's when it'll be removed but once you keep it there it won't be removed and then if you need any apps you have to go to the app store not the Galaxy store to get some of the apps I don't know why they're doing this this is crazy man screwing everything up

@Zapp2211 It won't be removed from your device by the 7.0 update. 

Here are the important bits from the notice in Galaxy Store:

Do you happen to know if they will transfer over to a new device via smart switch, or will they have to be downloaded again (as right now, the edge panels are not showing in the "my apps" section.)?

I have found the edge panels to be quite useful over time and I, too, don't understand why they would get rid of this unique, wanted feature.

@realaud I would expect them to transfer via Smart Switch. If not, see #3 in my previous post.

So, I would guess that anyone even thinking about any particular edge panels should download them now and eliminate them later if need be.  I wonder if they are downloaded but not in use if they will remain.  And, since OneUI 7 is not actually out, or in beta yet, Samsung could conceivably rethink that decision.
