Touch sensitivity issues on the RealMe 16 can quickly ruin the experience. The screen may register touches you did not intend, or it may fail to respond unless you press harder than usual. This problem is usually caused by display settings, software behavior, or environmental factors, and in most cases, you can fix it without visiting a service center.
Why Your RealMe 16 Touch Sensitivity Feels Wrong
- Screen protector or tempered glass interfering with touch input.
- Touch sensitivity or glove mode enabled incorrectly.
- Software glitches after a system update.
- Dirty screen or moisture affecting touch detection.
- Third party apps causing display conflicts.
Adjust Touch Sensitivity Settings
The RealMe 16 includes display options that affect how the screen responds to input. If these settings are misconfigured, the screen may feel too sensitive or not sensitive enough.
Open Settings, and then tap Display.
Tap Touch sensitivity or Glove mode, and then turn it off or on depending on your needs.
Lock the screen and test how the display responds to your touch.
Remove or Check the Screen Protector
Screen protectors can reduce accuracy or make the screen overly responsive, especially if they are thick or poorly installed. Testing without one helps confirm whether it is the cause.
Turn off the phone, and then clean the screen with a soft cloth.
Remove the screen protector, and then turn the phone back on.
Test the touch response before reinstalling or replacing it.
Restart the Phone
A restart clears temporary system processes that may interfere with touch input. This is especially helpful after long usage or recent updates.
Press and hold the Power key, and then tap Restart.
Wait for the phone to boot up fully.
Check if the touch sensitivity feels more natural.
Check for Software Updates
Software updates often include fixes for touchscreen calibration and responsiveness. Running an outdated version can leave bugs unresolved.
Open Settings, and then tap Software update.
Tap Check for updates, and then install any available update.
Restart the phone after installation and test the screen again.
Boot Into Safe Mode
Some third party apps can interfere with how the screen registers touches. Safe Mode helps you determine if an app is causing the issue.
Press and hold the Power key, and then tap and hold Power off.
Tap Safe Mode, and then wait for the phone to restart.
Test touch sensitivity, then exit Safe Mode if the issue disappears.
Touch sensitivity problems on the RealMe 16 are usually linked to settings, accessories, or temporary software behavior. Once you fine tune the display options and rule out interference, the screen should respond accurately and comfortably again.
FAQs
Can a cracked screen cause touch sensitivity problems?

Does humidity or moisture affect touchscreen sensitivity?
Yes. Moisture on the screen or your fingers can confuse touch sensors, making the display feel overly sensitive or unresponsive.
Should I factory reset my RealMe 16 to fix touch issues?
A factory reset can help if the problem is caused by deep software corruption, but it should be a last resort after trying all other fixes.
