  "account": "Samsung has fixed a glitch that affected the Instagram app's One Hand Operation feature, the company has confirmed. The issue arose due to incorrect settings of the gesture exception area, preventing the one-handed gestures from functioning properly. Samsung recommended updating to version 9.2.21 to resolve the problem.\n\nOne-handed gestures, also known as One Hand Operation, are a convenient feature that allows users to navigate their phones using a single hand. However, the popular Good Lock module has been causing conflicts with the Instagram app. A Galaxy user who frequently uses One Hand Operation reported experiencing difficulties when trying to navigate through the Instagram app with the feature enabled. According to the user, the One Hand Operation gestures do not take priority when overlapped on Instagram, resulting in the swiping gestures only navigating through the app's tabs.",
