Samsung Galaxy S23 users who have experienced touch screen responsiveness issues after installing the One UI 6.1 update can find relief with a temporary workaround provided by Samsung.
Samsung’s temporary fix for the annoying Galaxy S23 touch screen issue involves the following steps: First, update the Google app by opening the Play Store, tapping your profile icon, selecting “Manage apps and device,” and tapping “Update all.” Next, clear the Google app data by navigating to Settings > Apps > Google > Storage > Clear data. Finally, perform a standard restart of your Galaxy S23.
After following these steps, the touchscreen should function normally. Samsung acknowledges the issue stems from the Google app’s Discover feature and that Google is actively working on a permanent fix. Expect a more comprehensive solution in a future update.
If the touch screen issues persist on your Galaxy S23 even after trying the workaround, reach out to Samsung support for further assistance. Or simply wait until a proper fix rolls out.
