As covered previously, Samsung Galaxy S23 users are facing an annoyance: their touchscreens become unresponsive after installing the latest One UI 6.1 update. This glitch is messing up the user experience big time, forcing users to tap repeatedly just to get basic functions working. However, Samsung has pointed fingers towards none other than Google.
The company is working closely with Google to squash this bug
Apparently, a bug lurking within the Google Discover Feed app is causing all of this. According to a Samsung press release, the company is working alongside Google to squash this bug and deliver a permanent fix. In the meantime, a temporary solution exists: users can clear the 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 are supposed to improve our devices, not introduce problems. This incident is one of those cases where seemingly unrelated apps can trigger unexpected issues, especially when you consider that One UI is Samsung’s default launcher running on Google’s Android. It’s a reminder that close collaboration between tech giants like Samsung and Google is crucial for a smooth user experience.
For Galaxy S23 users, this situation is a minor setback (hopefully). Let’s just hope that a permanent fix arrives soon, restoring the prime touchscreen experience that Galaxy S23 users expect.
