Touch & hold delay

This setting adjusts the amount of time before your tap on the screen becomes a touch & hold.

A longer touch & hold delay means that you need to keep your finger in the same place for longer before your tap becomes a touch & hold. If you find that you accidentally touch & hold when you intend to tap, consider choosing a longer delay.

To adjust the touch and hold delay:

  1. Open your device's Settings app .
  2. Tap Accessibility and then Touch & hold delay.
  3. Select Short, Medium, or Long.
