Fix long tap issues on mobile with Windows

Brief cause explanation: The issue occurs due to the phone's gesture recognition system being overwhelmed by repeated long taps, causing it to misinterpret subsequent single taps as gestures.

  1. Step 1: Disable Gestures: Go to Settings > Advanced Features and toggle off 'Gestures'.
  2. Step 2: Clear App Cache and Data: Open the app, go to Settings > Storage > Clear Cache and Clear Data. Repeat this process for all apps.
  3. Step 3: Reset Phone's Gesture Recognition System: Go to Settings > Advanced Features and toggle off 'Gestures' again, then wait for 10 seconds before toggling it back on.
