Home screen cleanup is something I constantly procrastinate on. I have so many apps on my home screen that shouldn’t be there, and it keeps getting worse over time.
Thanks to that, I rely on my Edge Panel much more. I couldn’t live without using Edge Panels on my Samsung Galaxy S25+.
Edge Panels are another Samsung One UI quirk, so if you don’t have a Samsung device, you’ll sorely miss this feature — though you might be able to replicate a similar side panel experience.
It is also one of my favorite features to check when a new One UI update comes out. I generally revisit it every few months to see what else I can do with those swipe-in menus.
It makes multitasking between my apps much easier. Plus, tools like my compass and ruler are easy to access when I need them.
As a result, I decided to reduce the digital clutter on my home screen and make full use of my apps’ Edge Panel. Here’s how I set it all up.
