Use touch accommodations on iPod touch
If you have trouble using the touchscreen or buttons, you can change how iPod touch responds to your touch.
Use touch accommodations
Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Touch Accommodations.
You can configure iPod touch to do any of the following:
Respond to touches of a certain duration: Turn on Hold Duration, then tap or to adjust the duration (the default is 0.10 seconds).
To perform swipe gestures without waiting for the specified hold duration, tap Swipe Gestures, then turn on Swipe Gestures. You can choose the amount of required movement before a swipe gesture begins.
Ignore multiple touches: Turn on Ignore Repeat, then tap or to adjust the amount of time allowed between multiple touches. Then, if you touch the screen several times quickly, iPod touch treats the touches as one.
Respond to the first or last place you touch: Choose Use Initial Touch Location or Use Final Touch Location.
If you choose Use Initial Touch Location, iPod touch uses the location of your first tap—when you tap an app on the Home screen, for example. If you choose Use Final Touch Location, iPod touch registers the tap where you lift your finger. iPod touch responds to a tap when you lift your finger within a certain period of time. Tap or to adjust the timing. Your device can respond to other gestures, such as drags, if you wait longer than the gesture delay.
