How to Manage the Touch and Hold Delay in the Accessibility Feature?

 

Situation: You want to know how to adjust the touch and hold delay on your phone.

Applicable to: ColorOS 3.0 and above devices. Check your ColorOS version in [Settings] > [About Phone].

This setting adjusts the amount of time before your tap on the screen becomes a touch and hold gesture. This option helps to prevent accidental touch and hold.

A longer touch and hold delay means that you need to touch and hold down your finger in the same place for longer before your tap becomes a touch and hold. 

Go to  [Settings] > [Additional Settings] > [Accessibility] and turn on [Touch & hold delay]. Then, you can select between Short, Medium, or Long.
