Even if you connect a mouse, most Android phones register a right click as back so you would have to do some tinkering with the kernel to make it work. Pretty Sad honestly since I'm a mobile player and want to make arrows.

How can we make it ? Can explain me  i have otg and mouse

What if we just use our other hand?

What about if you have 2 options:

  1. Click on squares to move.
  2. Drag squares to draw arrows.

There would be an option to deactivate this option to be able to move both ways

I dont have the experience in tech or software to disable this. It's pretty unfortunate, i wish I knew. I guess we will just have to wait until the Chess.Com Gods bless us

I haven't tried this yet, but if you have a computer and a phone, you could try installing scrcpy (SCReen CoPY) on the computer and try right-clicking from the computer on the phone screen.

You can draw arrows on mobile with a connected keyboard just hold down ‘a’ or ‘shift a’ or ‘option a’ and drag on the screen with your finger or click if you want to highlight a square.

I like arrows but, I play mostly on mobile. It could be implemented by adding a draw arrows button. Use it by tapping the "draw arrows" button then you press any two squares and it draws an arrow from the first to the second.

What if chess.com would add arrows to mobile by double clicking and dragging?

Since clicking once and dragging means you'll actua

You can use xrecoder app on play store. I also try this .you can make arrow and also change colour of arrows.

This would be trivial to implement - you provide a spot to "hold" with your left thumb (or right if you are leftie u guess?) while you drag the pieces with a finger on thr other hand.

That will just flip the board

I don’t think it will be possible

This would be super easy to fix and it’s disappointing that three years after this original post seemingly no progress has been made. @chess.com: what about a “calculations” mode toggle that turns any gesture into arrow drawing/marking squares red etc. that when you’re finished and are ready to make a move, you just toggle off? I see you’re rapidly updating the app lately; please consider including something like this. I play a lot on my phone and iPad and would love to not feel like I’m at a disadvantage when I do.

If you want to draw arrows while playing chess using your mobile phone you need to use a browser. Either google chrome or mozilla etc. and attached a usb mouse on your phone. in the event that your right click is not drawing arrows when you drag your mouse, and it work as back button, all you need to do is enabe your developer option. and find the "Disable permission monitoring" and toggle it on. And you should be all good to draw arrows already if you drag your mouse while playing on chess.com using a mobile browser. I hope this helps and like my comment if it did.
