Touch and hold time

How long to hold a key to open accents, symbols and shortcuts. Shorter opens faster; longer avoids opening by accident. If Android’s accessibility asks for a longer delay, that one is used.

  1. 1Open Settings › Layout and keys.
  2. 2Drag the Touch and hold time control.
  3. 3Let go at the time you want.
  4. 4Hold a key: the bubble opens after that time.

What it does

Sets how long you need to hold a key to open accents, symbols and shortcuts, from 50 to 700 milliseconds, in steps of 50. The default is 300.
