Why it helps
A small handle on the edge of the screen opens a drawer of apps, app pairs, contacts and tools from anywhere.
What you'll notice
A swipe in from the side shows your shortcuts, whatever app you are in.
When to use it
When you want to jump to another app, then swipe the edge handle instead of going home.

Labels can differ. Menu names and their order vary between models and can change with a system update. If a step doesn't match your phone, search Settings for the feature name or one of its other names: edge screen, side panel, app drawer, shortcut panel.
