After updating my S10+ to Android 11, Edge Lighting is not working at all.  Yes, I have it set it on for my Messages app under Notifications, Brief pop-up settings, but it still does not work anymore when I receive a message.   Any suggestions?

Check your pop up settings and make sure you have selected the setting to display when screen is off and enable it.

Yes, the "Show even while screen is off" setting is enabled, but still not working.

I can't find a definitive answer to this online but I'm starting to think the app is no longer supported by Samsung.
My edge lighting app ceased functioning after the android update and in the apps menu in settings the edge lighting app was unresponsive to any actions.
I can't find the app in the galaxy store any longer, Samsung good lock which edge lighting used to be part of has also gone missing 🤔

I don't know but when I go into the Edge Lighting settings, the edges of the phone will light up.  So perhaps we need another update.

Working on my S10 after updating from Android 11 Beta to official. I found I had some issues so cleared my system cache and no trouble since.

I cleared System Cache but no change.  Edge Lighting still not working.

OK so it appears  Edge Lighting only works for system notifications, not for specific app notifications.   For example, if my WIFI disconnects, a message will pop up with the edge lighting.  But if I receive a text message with the stock Messages app, there is no edge lighting.    So it does appear it is partially working, but that we need another software update to Android 11 or the Messages app needs to be updated.
