If your Tecno Pova Slim 5G feels too sensitive to touch or not sensitive enough, it can make everyday use frustrating. Taps may register too quickly, or you may find yourself pressing harder than usual to get a response. Thankfully, there are built-in settings and simple adjustments you can use to get the right balance.

Why Your Tecno Pova Slim 5G Touch Sensitivity Might Feel Off

A screen protector interfering with touch detection.
Accidental touches caused by high sensitivity.
Low sensitivity when using gloves or third-party accessories.
Software glitches or outdated firmware.

Remove or Replace Screen Protector.

Screen protectors that are too thick or poorly installed can reduce sensitivity. Some may even cause ghost touches when combined with high sensitivity settings.

Remove the screen protector and test the display again. If the problem is fixed, consider switching to a thinner, higher-quality protector designed for sensitive touch screens.

Enable or Disable Touch Sensitivity Setting.

Tecno provides an option to increase touch responsiveness, which is helpful if you are using a screen protector. If the phone feels overly sensitive, toggling this setting can bring balance.

Open Settings, and then tap Display.
Tap Touch sensitivity, and then toggle the switch on or off depending on your preference.

Adjust Accidental Touch Protection.

If your screen keeps reacting when it should not, accidental touch protection can help. It prevents unwanted inputs when the phone is in a pocket or bag.

Open Settings, and then tap Display.
Tap Accidental touch protection, and then toggle the switch to enable it.

Restart Your Device.

Sometimes touch issues are caused by temporary software glitches. Restarting clears out minor bugs and refreshes the system.

Press and hold the Power key until the restart menu appears. Tap Restart, and then wait for the device to power back on.

Update Your Phone’s Software.

Outdated software can cause sensitivity bugs. Keeping your Tecno Pova Slim 5G updated ensures the latest fixes and optimizations are applied.

Open Settings, and then tap System.
Tap Software Update, and then follow the on-screen instructions if an update is available.

Touch sensitivity issues on the Tecno Pova Slim 5G are usually easy to resolve. Whether it is adjusting settings, removing a screen protector, or updating software, one of these fixes should restore your screen to the right level of responsiveness.
