"Handheld Mode Boost may prevent Nintendo Switch software from using the system's touch screen, and will cause attached Joy-Con 2 controllers to be treated as a Nintendo Switch 2 Pro." It's also worth noting that this mode must be turned on manually. It is not turned on automatically by default following the update. You can read more about that specific update here .
