Accidental touch protection is a feature available on Samsung Galaxy phones that prevents the screen from being touched accidentally when the phone is in a dark place such as a pocket or bag. This feature keeps the screen inactive so that no phone calls or messages are inadvertently made. It is a useful feature that can prevent embarrassing situations such as accidentally calling someone or sending a message full of gibberish. To turn on accidental touch protection, go to Settings, search for and select Accidental touch protection, and tap the switch next to it to turn it on. If you want to disable accidental touch protection, go to Settings, select Display, and toggle the switch next to Accidental touch protection to turn it off.
