Receiving message: isn't optimized for the latest version of Android. Screen touches may be delayed or not recognized. This was discussed back in 2023 for flip phones. My problem is with my Samsung tablet. Does anyone have a solution?
Message: “Isn’t optimized for the latest version of Android. Screen touches may be delayed or not recognized.”
This warning usually appears when you open an app that hasn’t been updated to work properly with your current version of Android. While this was discussed in 2023 for some flip phones, the same issue can happen on tablets — including Samsung ones — especially after a major system update.
Why this happens:
The app was built for an older version of Android
It hasn’t been updated by the developer to meet newer compatibility standards
Your device is trying to run it in a compatibility mode, which may cause screen touch issues or lag
Solutions to try:
1. Update the app (if possible)
Go to the Google Play Store
Search for the app and tap Update (if an update is available)
2. Check for a system update
Go to Settings > Software update > Download and install
If there’s a newer patch for your device, it may include compatibility fixes
3. Clear cache and data
Go to Settings > Apps > [App name] > Storage
Tap Clear Cache, then Clear Data
4. Try an alternative app
If the app hasn’t been updated in a long time and issues persist, you might need to use a more current alternative that supports the latest Android version
5. Contact the app developer
On the app’s Play Store page, scroll down and tap “Developer contact”
Let them know the issue you’re experiencing on your current device and Android version

I'm having a system-wide issue on my Samsung Galaxy A16 running Android 15 , One Ui 7.0 the problem occurs in every app, not just a specific one. My device is fully updated
I would check all that you have mentioned but there is a window taking up half my screen, and I cant access places I need to get to to clear cache or certain settings. I get this message: "System UI is not optimized for the latest version of Android. Screen touches may be delayed or not recognized." How do I get rid of this window? It is keeping me from restarting
