How to Enable Touch Mode in Microsoft Edge

Touch mode in Microsoft Edge makes the browser easier to use on touch screens.

This mode enlarges buttons, tabs, and other parts of the browser, giving you more space to tap accurately. It’s especially helpful on devices like 2-in-1 laptops or tablets.

Microsoft Edge, Windows 11’s default browser, automatically switches to Touch mode when it detects a touch device. If this doesn’t happen or you want to change it, you can easily turn Touch mode on or off manually.
