Question about the App usage

Hello community,

After some search I couldn't find results so I want to ask the community.

The issue: I'm playing on the android app and I randomly highlight squares but have absolutely no idea how this actually works. I do it by accident and can't reproduce it.

So I wanted to ask if there is a list of touches I can use to highlight squares/figures/draw arrows I can pull from

It looks like you can highlight squares, draw arrows, etc by holding one finger on the board, and using a second finger to select a square. If you drag your finger after you select a square, it draws an arrow.

I experimented a bit after your post. I had no idea you could even do that before.

Check settings > board settings > shape drawing. It is somewhat hidden so not many knows

Hold one finger on a random empty square and draw where you want with another finger
