what is going on guys lon here from Android authority and the s6 and the s6 edge are slowly making their way into consumers hands even though the phone is technically not even out yet but if you have one or you plan on getting one you're probably going to be interested in how to use some of the features that are available on both of these phones but today we're gonna focus purely on the s6 edge but if you're an s6 owner don't worry we have a separate video coming for you guys a little bit later so stay tuned for that but we want to just focus on the s6 edge and the features that make it unique and different so with that being said let's go ahead and just get right into it this is tips and tricks for your samsung galaxy s6 edge alright so tip number one is how to switch the edge features from the right edge to the left edge because by default it's actually all on the right edge and that's probably because samsung assumes that most people use their phones in their right hand which is probably a pretty safe assumption but if you use your phone in your left hand you're gonna want all those features to be on the left edge and to be able to change that up it's actually really simple you just jump into the settings and look for edge screen and select that and then scroll to the very bottom where you're going to see edge screen position and select that and this is where you'll have the option to switch between the right or the left and like I said it defaults to the right so go ahead and change it to the left and then you are good to go and all of the edge features will be on the left edge tip number two has to do with the edge lighting so if you're not familiar with edge lighting by now essentially the edge of the display lights up anytime you have your phone face down and you receive a call or a notification you can actually dismiss it by placing your finger on the heart rate monitor and this will also send them a text message a little quick reply and I believe it says something along the lines of I can't respond right now sent from my Samsung Galaxy s6 edge and you can actually disable this quick reply if you don't want the person to know that you just ignored their call or you can change the message to something completely different as well so in order to do that just jump into the settings and go to the edge screen settings just like before and then just tap on edge lighting and you will see an option for quick reply and this is where you can either disable the function altogether or you can change the message to say whatever it is you want moving on to tip number three and that is the people edge and how to set them up so the people edge allows you to have five of your favorite or most frequent contacts and you can easily access them by swiping on the little tab that appears on the upper portion of the display and in order to set them up you can actually do this in one of two ways you can either jump directly into the People edge settings or you can just do it right from the edge display itself either way that you want to do it is perfectly fine but actually find it a little bit easier to do it from the edge display itself so all you have to do is tap on one of the empty slots and it should take you directly into your contacts application where you can select whoever it is that you want to select whether it's mom or dad or your friends or your family whoever it is that you want to put you can put them onto your people edge and you just repeat those steps over and over until you have filled up all five of those slots and you can also rearrange them in any order that you like if you don't like the order that you have them initially and you can just do this by long-pressing on a contact and dragging them up and down along the edge or you can do this again by jumping right into the people edge settings and doing it from there you can also assign individual colors to each contact from within the people edge settings and these colors will actually coordinate with the edge lighting so for example if you assign purple to one of your contacts the edge lighting will actually light up purple anytime you receive a call or notification from them tip number four is how to set up information stream and information stream gives you little tidbits of information that you can easily access by swiping across the edge of the display when the screen is turned off and in order to set this feature up you have to jump into the edge screen settings once again and from here you can actually manage your individual feeds so you can have different things like Twitter Yahoo News sports scores and even they feed for your own missed calls and you can also download additional feeds if you'd like but as of right now the options are pretty limited but you can expect this list to grow as time goes on and from here you can also set the duration from as low as 15 seconds all the way up to 10 minutes and you can also make some adjustments to the weather here as well as to how often you want to weather to refresh and whether you want the weather to be in Celsius or in Fahrenheit and various other different weather settings our fifth and final tip has to do with the night clock and this is a pretty self-explanatory feature but this essentially allows you to use the edge as a night clock and in order to set this feature up you just go into the edge green settings go into night clock and from here you can set the duration as to when you want it to turn on and when you want it to turn off and one thing to keep in mind is that you only have a 12 hour maximum so if you plan on sleeping any longer than that you're pretty much Sol but once you have the time set you're pretty much good to go and it'll turn on when it's supposed to and it'll turn off without you having to do anything and there you have it guys this has been tips and tricks for your Samsung Galaxy s6 edge hopefully you guys enjoyed
