Samsung | Touch & Hold Delay

Protonumus — Sun, 27 Jul 2025 14:43:44 GMT

Samsung Galaxy mobile devices, powered by One UI, offer a range of features to enhance Interaction and Dexterity, particularly for users with varying needs.

To adjust the "Touch and Hold Delay" on a Samsung Phone:

1. Open the Settings app. Swipe down from the top of the screen to access the quick settings panel and tap the gear icon, or locate the Settings app in the app drawer.

2. Tap Accessibility.

3. Select, Interaction and Dexterity. (On some models, you may find "Touch and hold delay" directly under Accessibility.)

4. Tap Touch and hold delay.

5. Choose your preferred delay: Short, Medium, Long, or Very short (0.3 seconds recommended). Some devices also allow a custom delay.

This setting determines how long you must press and hold the screen to trigger a "long press."

Adjust it to prevent accidental long presses or to make long-press actions faster for app sub-menu options.

Thank you.

Useful for all. One would be surprised on how often they access sub-menu.

Many people access development mode to decrease animations for the same interest, leaving the device exploitable hard-wired.
