3. Adjust settings:
•
There are two basic gestures for controlling your phone: touch and touch & hold. You can adjust the
amount of time before your touch on the screen becomes touch & hold. If you find that you
accidentally touch & hold when you intend to touch, choose a longer delay. Use Touch & hold delay
to select short, medium, or long delay.
•
If messages that ask you to take action are disappearing too quickly, touch Time to take action
and choose a longer time. Not all apps support this setting.
•
If you’re using a connected mouse, you can set the cursor to click automatically when the cursor
stops moving for an amount of time. Touch Autoclick (dwell timing) and select the amount of
time.
