Description:
Samsung has identified the cause of a One UI 6.1 touchscreen issue affecting 
Galaxy S23 devices, and shared a temporary fix.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

On April 4, we reported that several Samsung Galaxy S23 users had been left 
with totally unresponsive touchscreens after downloading One UI 6.1 on their 
devices, but Samsung has now acknowledged the problem, identified the cause, 
and issued a temporary fix. 

In a new post published to its Korean Community website (via Phandroid ), 
Samsung blames compatibility issues with some Google app features, 
specifically Google Discover, for the irregular touchscreen behavior 
triggered by One UI 6.1. In other words, Googles Discover feature  i.e. the 
part of Google Search that displays bespoke content  isnt correctly optimized 
for Samsungs latest software update. 

As for how to fix this frustrating touchscreen issue (at least temporarily), 
Samsung says the following: You can improve the problem by temporarily 
updating the Google app to the latest version, deleting the app's data, and 
then restarting your phone. Well walk you through how to do that below. 

To update the Google app, head to the Google Play Store and search for it. 
Tap Update as you would do normally. Next, youll want to delete the data you 
just downloaded. To do this, head into Settings, select Applications, then 
select Google. Tap Storage, then the Delete data icon in the bottom left 
corner of the screen (it looks like a dustpan). 

All being well, that should eliminate any touchscreen slowdown youre 
experiencing, though wed advise against jumping back into Google Discover for 
the time being until Samsung rolls out a more substantial, permanent fix 
(once you start using the feature again, itll start collecting more data, 
which could cause the issue to reoccur). 

That said, if you cant resist scrolling through TechRadars Google 
Discover-friendly content before Samsung does so (we dont blame you), you may 
be able to repeat the aforementioned steps to quash the issue again. You
