Entering into home screen settings from home screen

[Asjad]

So I really find it annoying when you know I kind of accidentally long tap the home screen on an empty area and it enters the home screen you know wallpaper settings screen and that kind of is annoying because you know of course pinching will get it in there but again I don't even want that to happen I want to get into that settings through the settings icon is there a way I can prevent the long screen sorry the long press and the home screen I'm not talking about the Gemini and The voice commands and all that just press long press on your home screen or pinch on the home screen and you will know what I talk about. And I want to get rid of it.

Sorry but no they are no way that I know of to disable the long press to enter the homescreen settings.

You want to get off my Samsung phone now

What?

You can have a lighter touch.  Even if you accidentally press too hard, it's not a big deal and half a second to return it to normal.  There is no way to prevent this from happening, as even if you lock the home screen, you can still bring up the options by long pressing.  I don't see a way to long press accidentally, as it only takes a gentle tap to open any icon.  Are you picking up your phone by holding the screen, rather than from the sides?  You can try turning on accidental touch protection and turning off touch sensitivity in the display settings to see if that helps.

That's annoying me for many years. Not sure if anyone else is having the same problem.

If anyone is, they never posted a complaint about it. I have tried every way possible to replicate your Issue. You have to try really hard to "accidentally" trigger the settings screen. The only way I've ever been able to do it is by grabbing the phone between my thumb and forefinger and picking up the phone while holding the screen and the back. Ever other trigger is a deliberate long press. I also have accidental touch protection on, which locks the screen if an action is sensed to be accidental. I don't know why you need to press your screen hard enough to trigger the settings. You would think that if this has been happening for many years, you'd develop a lighter touch. Turn on accidental screen protection and turn screen sensitivity off.

When screen is unlocked, just press for like 2 to 3 secs on your screen and you will see. Now why is this even needed?

[realaud]

You don't need to press your screen for 2-3 second for anything u less you want to get to those settings. A nanosecond tap is all you need to do anything on your screen. Why is it necessary? Because, like many other settings, Samsung gives several options on how to get there. Just lighten up your touch and adjust the settings I told you to. If you won't do that, then you are not looking for help, you just want to complain.

So I'm not deliberately tapping for two or three seconds long tap but it's like whenever I kind of hold it in my hand while it is unlocked and if my finger is touching the screen or maybe I've kept it in a pocket or something like that it kind of does it and it's kind of annoying I ever tried it.
