Edit screen mode

My apps jiggle too easy (screen editing mode). I’m worried I might delete an important app while the phone is in my pocket

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hey EsandPee,


If you feel your iPhone is a bit too sensitive to your input, you can adjust how it responds to touch using the tips here: Adjust how iPhone responds to your touch - Apple Support


This specifically would fall under a tap-and-hold gesture:


"Adjust settings for touch-and-hold gestures

The touch-and-hold gesture reveals content previews, actions, and contextual menus. If you have trouble performing this gesture, do the following:

  1. Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Touch, then tap Haptic Touch or 3D & Haptic Touch.
  2. Choose the touch duration—Fast or Slow.
  3. On an iPhone with 3D Touch, you can also choose the pressure needed—Light, Medium, or Firm.
  4. Test your new settings on the image at the bottom of the screen."


Let us know if that helps.


Cheers!
