Hi everyone,

I recently discovered a frustrating issue with my Galaxy S26 that started immediately after updating to One UI 9. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problem.

The issue:

Since the update, scrolling and swiping have become inconsistent and unpredictable.

For example:

  • When swiping between home screen pages, the phone sometimes doesn't respond, leaving me on the same page.

  • When scrolling through websites, the scrolling speed sometimes feels unusually fast or slow.

  • Swipe gestures occasionally don't register properly, even though I'm using the phone exactly as I did before the update.

I think I found what's causing it!

After troubleshooting, I discovered that the issue is directly related to this accessibility setting:

Settings → Accessibility → Vision enhancements → Magnification → Magnification shortcut → Triple-tap screen

When Triple-tap screen is enabled, the scrolling and swiping issues occur even when magnification isn't actively being used!

As soon as I disable Triple-tap screen and select a different shortcut (such as Tap Accessibility button), everything works normally again.

I've tested this multiple times, and the behavior is consistent.

Has anyone else experienced this?

    Thank you! I was considering returning my new S26+ over this until I found your post.

    I’m having the same problem after the One UI 9 update on my S24 Ultra, and my mom is experiencing it too on her S23 Ultra. I only used Samsung phones because of this specific feature, so I really hope they fix this issue soon.

    Yup, same thing. Really glad I saw a random non-upvoted comment on reddit about it lol. Hopefully that gets fixed soon. It's actually so useful and the triple tap is the only intuitive way.

    Same problem here. Is there any offiziell update on this? Are they working on a fix? Is Samsung at least aware of this Bug?

    I am on S24+
