  "account": "The author of this account regularly struggles with maintaining a tidy phone home screen, as they accumulate unnecessary apps. They find the Samsung Edge Panel to be a lifesaver in this regard and cannot live without it on their Samsung Galaxy S25+. This feature, exclusive to Samsung devices, allows for easy multitasking through swipe-in menus and the convenient access to frequently used tools, such as a compass and ruler. The author emphasizes that setting up the Edge Panel is a breeze, involving a simple check during new updates and a toggle in the settings to enable it. Once enabled, a translucent handle appears on the right side of the screen, and tapping on it will open the panel. The tools within the panel can be accessed by swiping left again or by tapping the three-dot icon in the upper-right corner. The author particularly enjoys using the flashlight tool via the Edge Panel, as it keeps their notifications panel separate from the quick panel, preventing accidental notifications opening. The Edge Panel's customization options allow the author to add, remove, or rearrange apps, including creating folders and even split-screen app pairs. Additionally, the author explores the possibility of enhancing Edge Panels through third-party modules, such as Good Lock, though warns about potential compatibility issues after One UI updates.",
