The ability to increase the display's touch sensitivity isn't a new feature on smartphones. In the beginning, it was introduced as “Glove mode” by manufacturers in an attempt to make a phone's display react more accurately when used with gloves on. With time, display technology has advanced enough to not need a special feature to work well with gloves, but thanks to those curves on Samsung's flagship phones, screen protectors may still wreak havoc with regular operation. Well, maybe some technicality makes it an issue with the Galaxy S9 in particular, as it's the first of the company's modern flagships to come with the option to enhance touch sensitivity, or Samsung may just have thought of it now, but in either case, it's a handy feature that you may want to try out.
Unfortunately, the option to increase touch sensitivity isn't where you'd think it'd be (i.e. the display settings), so you may not have noticed it's there. Fret not, as that's precisely what we're here to help with.
