I occasionaly find myself accidently pressing & holding down on the screen (when there's bright sun outside which prevents me from seeing the screen properly, or grabbing for the phone in my pocket) resulting in apps getting ready to be reorganized or deleted, and likewise the Lock screen or Control Center. It's only a question of time before something gets deleted or messed up.

Is there a way I can disable the "long press" function where instead I have to access a menu somewhere in order to do the above (or create a Shortcut to toggle off this function)?
I was hoping to find something within the Accessibility part of Settings, but so far nothing.

The solution here is to buy a phone with bezels, which are a natural place to rest your fingers while holding a smartphone or tablet. Why Apple continues to release phones without bezels is beyond me, I don't understand how they hold these things, especially considering how large they are.
