When you put a screen protector on your Pixel 8 or Pixel 8 Pro, you will be reminded to turn on the Screen protector mode automatically. The notification will say “Enabling screen protector mode improves touch when using a screen protector.” Tapping the notification gives you three options to choose from; one button takes you to settings, one allows you to acknowledge the notification without disabling it, and the third one allows you to disable the notification.
Toggling on the Screen protection mode
If you decide to turn on Screen protector mode, press the first button which takes you to Settings. From there, tap on Display and scroll down to Screen protector mode. Toggle the feature on which will “increase touch sensitivity and improve touch when using a screen protector.” That’s a snap, right?

If you are removing the screen protector and decide to disable Screen protector mode, tap the first button, and from Settings, tap on Display, scroll down to Screen protector mode, and toggle off the feature. Again, this couldn’t be any easier.
