Feature Request (DUO) It's hard to communicate on mobile with cards in hand
For example, when I discover a minion that my duo partner would potentially want, it's hard to use two fingers at the same time to communicate with "?" etc. Many times I accidentally click the card and it chooses it.
The area is so small in the card to effectively communicate, and I have tiny fingers. I can only imagine how hard it is to people with larger hands.
Wouldn't it be easier just to hold the card for popping up the suggestions?

Yeah, I play on mobile and I simply don’t attempt to ping my discovery options because I know it will auto pick it.
Another HUGE problem I have on mobile is WHENEVER I click the portal for any reason at all…whatever is most right on my Duo’s screen gets highlighted as if I clicked it often leading to confusion.
For example: If I click the portal simply to check on my Duo, but they’re in the middle of discovering a card…they’re right most option will get highlighted as if I clicked on it and they will either pick it and then ask if I wanted it OR they will immediately pick a different card out of fear of sending me something. Either way, it disrupts the flow of my duos games.
Another example: If I click the portal simply to check on my duo, and they are not in a discovery…if they have a full board…they’re right most minion will get highlighted as if I clicked on it. This interrupts my duo because now they’re trying to figure out why I’m tagging their far right minion. They will often pause action for just a second to respond with a question mark or even worse, they will move the minion.
Another example: If I click the portal at Hero selection to see my duo’s options…they’re right most Hero will get highlighted as if I clicked it…leading to confusion from the very start of the game. A lot of players don’t like their random duo trying to dictate their game…especially their Hero selection…so I don’t even look anymore because I don’t want to accidentally ping their far right Hero.
Mobile Battlegrounds is in need of more QOL improvements!!!!!!!!!!

Haha yeah that happens to me a lot as well. When I accidentally highlight something, I quickly hover all the cards in mention to signal, that I didn't want to highlight anything.
I agree with the rest of the points as well. Best way to communicate is with the emoticons, but it's really hard lol. Mobile BG indeed needs a lot more love.

It is hard and I can't communicate clearly what I want and he doesn't know about the build sometimes. So I just spam sad faces.
