Before I got my s7 Edge (just a couple of weeks ago) I had a Note 3. On the Note 3, the bottom left tap (next to the start button) brought up a menu list of options for whatever app was open on the screen. This was very useful. On the s7 Edge, the bottom left tap is completely different. It brings up the list of open apps and allows you to close them all, or turn off selected ones. This is a dramatic change in Samsung phone functions, and has created some problems for me.
Has anyone else had concern about this change on Samsung phones? It took me a couple of days, for instance, to figure out how to block a a nuisance phone call.
Though, I realize now that the bottom left menu click was often redundant, it offered a consistent reliability in finding options on an app page. In Wikipedia, for example, the bottom left click on the Note 3 showed a "find in page" option. On the s7 Edge, it took a while to find out that the same option is embedded in the Wikipedia app.
Just wondering what others have thought of this change in Samsung phone formatting. Frankly, the jump from Galaxy Note 3 to Galaxy s7 Edge has been a bit difficult. When most of us are on 2 yr cell phone plans, we are not going to change phones any sooner than 2 years, and by that time the learning curve for the new phone has jumped so far ahead that the adjustment is difficult.
Of course, the s7 Edge is a spectacular piece of technical wizardry. The Google maps is way more advanced than it was on the Note 3. And, this pocket sized computer has much more capability than my desktop did 10 years ago.
