Set Touch & Hold Delay auf Android
Touch & hold delay controls how long you need to press and hold an element before Android registers it as a long-press instead of a normal tap. This affects app icon shortcuts on the home screen, drag actions, and any menu that opens after holding down a control element. If the delay feels too short, you might trigger shortcuts by accident while trying to move an icon. If it feels too long, long-press actions seem unresponsive.
Android offers three fixed stages for this timing: Short, Medium and Long. Short reacts almost instantly, while Long requires you to hold your finger down noticeably longer before the action fires. This is useful if you have shaky hands, use a stylus, or find yourself accidentally opening shortcut menus while scrolling.
To change it, open Settings ➔ Accessibility ➔ Timing controls ➔ Touch & hold delay and select Short, Medium or Long. The change applies system-wide immediately, so you can test it right after selecting a value by returning to the home screen and holding an app icon.
If long-press actions still feel inconsistent after adjusting this setting, the issue may sit with a specific app's touch handling rather than the system-wide timing. In that case, checking the app's own gesture settings is usually more effective than changing this value further.
