Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge: How to Change the Display Location of the Edge Screen Handle in Android 5.1.1 Lollipop

If your Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge has been updated to Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, you can change where the edge screen handle will be displayed in your phone for more convenient access. If you often access the edge screen features, e.g: people edge or apps edge, you can set your phone to always display the edge screen handle regardless the screen or app you're opening.
