    I have the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus. The Apps and People Edge tab has disappeared. Can no longer access edge tab info in Settings, Edge Screen. The Edge feeds and lighting work just fine. A Soft reset did not work. Nothing else seems missing. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there an update for this?
