| How to Change Touch Sensitivity on iPhone or iPad Posted: 19 Jul 2021 05:00 PM PDT If you're having trouble with your iPhone or iPad's touchscreen, you may find it helpful to increase or decrease touch sensitivity. You can adjust the amount of time needed to register your touch, ignore multiple touches (if your hands are shaky), and set up many touch-specific accommodations in your Accessibility settings. This wikiHow teaches you how to adjust your iPhone or iPad's screen sensitivity. [Edit]Adjusting Touch-and-Hold Timing - Open your iPhone or iPad's Settings . It's the gray gear icon on the home screen or in the app library.[1]
- Tap . It's in the third group of settings.
- Tap the menu. It's under the "Physical and Motor" header.
- Tap . This is the feature that controls how long it takes to reveal menus, previews, and other features when you tap-and-hold an item on the screen.
- If you have an iPhone with 3D Touch, this option is called 3D & Haptic Touch. See this method to learn how to adjust your 3D Touch settings.
- Select a Touch Duration. The default option is "Fast" –if you find that tapping an app icon or link often opens up a menu or special feature instead of opening the app or link you intend to open, select Slow instead.
- The new setting will take effect immediately.
- You can switch back to the Fast default at any time by tapping Fast on this screen.
- Test the Haptic Touch setting. Tap and hold the image of the flower at the bottom of the screen. If the setting is set to "Fast," the image should grow larger right away. If it's set to slow, it will take about 2 seconds for the image to expand.
- Swipe down on the larger image to return to the menu.
[Edit]Adjusting 3D Touch Settings - Open your iPhone or iPad's Settings . It's the gray gear icon on the home screen or in the app library.
- 3D Touch is the feature that makes your touch register differently depending on how much pressure you apply to the screen.[2] It's only available on iPhones, and only on the following models: iPhone Xs & Xs Max, iPhone X, iPhone 8 & 8 Plus, iPhone 7 & 7 Plus, iPhone 6s & 6s Plus.
- Tap . It's in the third group of settings.
- Tap the menu. It's under the "Physical and Motor" header.
- Tap on the menu. This opens your touch sensitivity settings.
- Tap the 3D Touch switch to turn the feature on or off. If you don't want your iPhone to behave differently based on the amount of pressure you apply to the screen, toggle the 3D Touch switch to the off position. If you want to keep the feature on but change its sensitivity, continue to the next step.
- Use the slider to adjust 3D Touch Sensitivity. 3D touch is activated when your finger does something other than simply tapping an app icon or link, such as bring up a menu or start jiggling the desktop icons. This slider controls how much pressure you need to apply to the screen to activate 3D Touch.
- If you're often accidentally bringing up menus or other features instead of opening apps and links, you might try the Firm setting—this requires more pressure on the screen to activate 3D touch.
- If you find it difficult to activate 3D touch when you need it, try the Light option, which requires less pressure.
- Use the Medium setting if the other two are too extreme.
- Test the 3D Touch setting. Tap the image at the bottom of the screen as you normally would. If you see a "Peek and pop" preview of the image, 3D touch is activated. If it activates too quickly, choose the Firm setting.
[Edit]Using Touch Accommodations - Open your iPhone or iPad's Settings . It's the gray gear icon on the home screen or in the app library.
- Touch Accommodations are extremely helpful for fine-tuning your iPhone or iPad's screen sensitivity. If you have trouble keeping your finger in one place or moving quickly enough, you're sure to find what you're looking for here.
- Tap . It's in the third group of settings.
- Tap the menu. It's under the "Physical and Motor" header.
- Tap . It's near the middle of the menu.
- Tap the "Touch Accommodations" switch to turn the feature on. It's at the top of the screen. When the switch is green, Touch Accommodations are active.
- Adjust the Hold Duration. Hold Duration determines how long you must keep your finger on the screen before your touch is recognized. If your hands are shaky and you find yourself opening apps and features you don't mean to open, you can increase this setting. Here's how:
- Tap the switch next to "Hold Duration" to turn the feature on.
- The default duration is .10 seconds, which is nearly instantaneous. You can tap the plus symbol to increase the hold duration if you feel your screen is too sensitive. The amount of time you select here is how long it will take for your touch to register.
- The setting will take effect immediately. If you find that you're tapping the plus symbol and it's no longer doing anything, tap and hold it on the minus sign instead—you've probably just increased the duration a bit too high for your liking.
- Enable "Ignore Repeat" to ignore multiple touches. If you don't have a steady hand and often tap apps and links more than once by accident, this is the feature for you. Here's how to use it:
- Toggle the "Ignore Repeat" switch to the on (green) position.
- Tap the plus sign to increase the time allowed between multiple touches. The default is 0.10. Raising this value higher makes it so your iPhone or iPad will register your multiple accidental touches as one as long as they occur within that amount of time.
- Turn on the feature that tells your iPhone to only respond to your first or last touch. This feature is called Tap Assistance, and it's at the bottom of the menu.
- Tap Use Initial Touch Location if you have a hard time keeping your finger in one place on the screen and find that your iPhone or iPad is registering your touch in the wrong place.
- Tap Use Final Touch Location to ignore the first touch on the screen, and then only register the place your finger was when you lifted it off the screen. This feature allows you to touch and hold your finger anywhere on the screen, drag it to the place you actually want to tap, and then lift your finger.
- Toggle "Touch Accommodations" on or off as needed. After setting up your preferences in Touch Accommodations, you can temporarily disable them at any time by tapping the switch at the top of the screen. This will not erase any of your special settings, but may make it easier for someone else to use your iPhone or iPad if needed. Otherwise, you can keep this switch in the On position so your settings remain active at all times.

| How to Get a Good Job Posted: 19 Jul 2021 09:00 AM PDT If you've had nothing but bad jobs in the past, you know there's a difference between getting "any" job and getting a "good" job. When you're searching for employment, there are a few ways you can narrow down your search to filter out the bad jobs and apply to the quality ones. Read through these tips to see how you can find a good job and nail the application process in no time. [Edit]How do I find a job that's right for me? - Figure out your skill set. Sit down and make a list so you can narrow down your search. You can include your degree (if you have one), your job experience, and any vocational training you have. You can also include "soft skills," like professionalism, responsiveness, and friendliness.[1] Once you figure out the skills you already have, you can decide on a career path that's right for you.[2]
- Jot down your likes and dislikes. What did you like about your past jobs? What did you really dislike? Make a list of things both good and bad so you can keep them in mind as you search through opportunities.[3]
- Identify your ideal work style. Do you like working from home, or would you rather go into the office? Are you a social butterfly who's good at talking to a variety of people, or do you prefer backend work with less customer interaction? Answer these questions to narrow down your search when you find open positions.[4]
[Edit]Where should I look for a good job? - Reach out to other professionals. Networking is your best way to find a job opportunity. If you know people in the field, shoot them an email and tell them you're looking for a new job. If you went to school with anyone working right now, ask them if they know of any openings. Word-of-mouth is the number one way people find a job in today's market.[5]
- Search for opportunities online. You'll find tons of jobs posted online that you can apply for quickly. Look at sites like Glassdoor, Monter, Indeed, LinkedIn, Google Jobs, and Ladders to start your search. You can enter in a keyword or a location to find the perfect job for you.[6]
[Edit]How can I tell if a job is good? - Look for company reviews. A good job is more than just the pay—you'll want to ensure that you're going to be happy there, too. Check out the company on Glassdoor or LinkedIn to see what employees are saying about the job duties, benefits, and company culture.[7]
- Consider the pay and the benefits. What would you be getting paid? How many hours would you work? Does the job provide benefits? Is there paid time off or vacation time? Is there any room for growth within the company? It's up to you to decide if you'd like to accept, reject, or negotiate the offer that you're presented with.[8]
[Edit]How do I increase my chances of getting a job? - Perfect your resumé. It's your first impression for your potential employer. Make sure the format is clean and easy to read, list your skills in bullet points, and have your work and school experience front and center.[9] Consider having a friend or family member look it over before sending it out.[10]
- Clean up your social media accounts. Many employers will search you up online before hiring you. If they find something they don't like (pictures of you smoking, drinking, or partying), it could affect their decision. Make sure your social media accounts are set to private or clean them up before you start applying for jobs.[11]
- Make a good impression at the interview. It's your time to prove yourself to the company. Wear an appropriate outfit for the job (usually slightly more dressed up than you would be on a typical work day). Show up on time and shake your interviewer's hand, then answer the questions as best you can. When the interview is over, shake their hand again and thank them for their time.[12]
[Edit]Which jobs pay the most? - Healthcare jobs often pay the most. In fact, a 2020 report states that anesthesiologists and surgeons get paid the most out of any job out there. However, you do need a doctorate degree before getting these jobs, and that much school can take a lot of time.[13]
- Financial and IT managers get paid very well. This field is often called "middle management." If you're a middle manager, you'll take direction from your boss and give direction to your employees. You can work your way up to being a manager in most companies, so it's a great goal to keep in mind as you enter the workforce.[14]
- You don't have to be making millions to be happy with your job. A good job looks different for everyone, so don't compare your situation to others.
