Troubleshooting Pocket Mistouch Prevention on Android Phones

Understanding the "Remove Anything Covering This Area" Message

 Have you ever seen the message "Remove Anything Covering This Area" or "Pocket Mistouch Prevention" on your phone's screen whenever it locks? It can be a bit confusing, but this feature is actually for your and your phone's safety.

Let's understand why this situation occurs.

The Function of Pocket Mistouch Prevention

Whenever your phone is in your pocket and accidentally doesn't lock or even when it does lock, the screen often activates. In this situation, anything can accidentally click or touch, which can be irritating and may cause issues.

How the Technology Works

There are sensors such as the camera, speaker, and other sensors located in the upper part of your phone, which are placed inside the screen. Whenever these sensors are covered, the phone's Pocket Mistouch Prevention technology activates. This feature shows you that message, which lets the phone know it's in your pocket and prevents random touches on the screen.

Switching Off the Feature

Some users want to turn off this feature. Deactivating it is very simple. You need to go to your phone's settings. Type "pocket" in the search bar and click on the "Pocket Mistouch Prevention" option. Then simply turn it off. Now, even if your phone is locked and in the dark, or you've covered the sensors, the Pocket Mistouch Prevention feature won't turn on.
