As we wrote earlier, Samsung Galaxy S23 users are facing a problem: after installing the latest One UI 6.1 update, their touchscreens stop responding to touches. This glitch significantly spoils the user experience, forcing users to repeatedly tap to launch basic functions. However, Samsung points the finger at none other than Google.
The company is working closely with Google to fix this error
Apparently, the reason for all this is a bug hiding in the Google Discover Feed application. According to a press release from Samsung, the company is working closely with Google to fix this bug and release a final solution. In the meantime, there is a temporary solution: users can clear Google app data in their settings. This should restore normal touchscreen functionality, but it’s not the most ideal situation.
While waiting for a permanent solution, it’s worth considering the bigger picture. Software updates should improve our devices, not create problems. This incident is one of those cases where seemingly unrelated applications can cause unexpected problems, especially when you consider that One UI is Samsung’s default launcher on Google’s Android. As a reminder, close cooperation between tech giants like Samsung and Google is crucial for a smooth user experience.
For Galaxy S23 users, this situation is a minor setback (we hope). Hopefully, a final fix will be available soon that will restore the top-notch touchscreen experience that Galaxy S23 users have come to expect.
