Change timing controls

If you need more time to respond to a notification or messages that are visible only temporarily, you can adjust the time before they disappear:

  1. Go to Settings > Accessibility.
  2. Tap Timing controls.
  3. Adjust settings:

    • You can adjust the amount of time before your touch/tap on the screen becomes touch & hold. If you find that you accidentally touch & hold when you intend to tap, 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, tap 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. Tap Autoclick (dwell timing) and select the amount of time.
