Samsung started rolling out the One UI 6.1 update for the Galaxy S23 series at the end of March, and many people have been complaining about touchscreen issues since the update. That said, the touchscreens on these devices sometimes fail to register touch input correctly and must be tapped multiple times before the touch registers.
Of course, this is extremely annoying, and now Samsung has finally acknowledged the problem, but with a twist. According to the Korean company, this is pretty much Google’s fault, as apparently the issue is caused by the Google app’s Discover feed, which you can display on the far left side of your home screen.
Samsung says Google is aware of the issue and is working to permanently fix it. Until then, Samsung is offering affected users a temporary solution: they should clear the Google app’s data and then restart their device. Once completed, the touchscreen should register all touches correctly.
To clear data from Google apps, you need to go to Settings > Apps > Google > Storage and tap Clear Data. This may require you to log in to your Google Account again after doing this.
Google will most likely fix this issue by updating the Google app, so make sure you have automatic updates enabled in the Play Store. If you’re impatient, you can always update all your apps manually through the Play Store by tapping your profile icon, selecting Manage apps and devices, and tapping the Update All button.
