The navigation bar is the rectangle and circle and triangle at the bottom of the screen. Android has a delay for tapping the navigation bar to protect from accidentally exiting an app.

After tapping something inside an opened app, Android ignores touches on the navigation bar for around one second. While I understand the purpose of preventing accidentally exiting an app, it is more often a nuisance to have to wait a second until being able to tap the navigation bar.

It's just one second. Where is the big deal?

The big deal comes from repetition. A minor annoyance repeated often becomes a major annoyance.

How to remove this delay?

Ideally, a solution works not only on Android OS but also LineageOS and MicroG, etc. and older Android versions.

But you can always make use of gesture navigation
Thanks for your help, but I dislike gesture control in general. I prefer straightforward buttons.

Similarly, I disable pull-to-refresh wherever possible. Pull-to-refresh is helpful less than 1 out of 20 times. The other times, it is annoying and dizzying and takes effort to be avoided.

Is there anything rooted users can do to eliminate the navigation bar touch delay?

Almost always, it prevents me from exiting an app when I want it rather than preventing me from exiting accidentally.
