Namely, the touchscreen on these devices sometimes doesn&#8217;t register touch input properly, and one has to tap multiple times to get a touch registered.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, this is extremely annoying, and now Samsung has finally acknowledged the problem, but there&#8217;s a twist. According to the Korean company, this is pretty much Google&#8217;s fault, as apparently the issue is being caused by the Google app&#8217;s Discover feed, which you can have appear to the left of your leftmost home screen.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/04\/galaxy-s23-touch-input-issue-fix\/inline\/-1200w5\/gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung acknowledges Galaxy S23 touchscreen issue on One UI 6.1, says it's Google's fault\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Samsung says Google is aware of the problem and working to fix it for good. Until that happens, Samsung is offering a temporary solution to affected users: they should clear the Google app&#8217;s data, and then restart their device. Once that&#8217;s done, the touchscreen should register all touches properly.<\/p>\n<p>To clear the Google app&#8217;s data, you need to go to Settings &gt; Apps &gt; Google &gt; Storage and tap on Clear data. This may require you to log into your Google account again after you do it.<\/p>\n<p>Google is most likely to fix the issue through an update to the Google app, so make sure you have automatic updates enabled in the Play Store. If you&#8217;re impatient, you can always manually update all apps through the Play Store by tapping on your profile icon, selecting Manage apps and device, and then tapping on the Update all button.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-offers-temporary-fix-galaxy-s23-touchscreen-issue-one-ui-6-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/samsung_acknowledges_galaxy_s23_touchscreen_issue_on_one_ui_61_says_its_googles_fault-news-62311.php\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Samsung started rolling out the update to One UI 6.1 for the Galaxy S23 family in late March, and since getting it, a lot<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":220608,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[165],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220607"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220607"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220607\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":330732,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220607\/revisions\/330732"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michigandigitalnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
