For example, hand-held or hand-operated devices may benefit from handedness detection and from modifications based on or related to such detection. A method can include determining a used hand of a user of a device. The method can also include modifying a graphical user interface of the device based on the determined used hand, wherein determination of the used hand occurs prior to any querying of the user regarding the used hand of the user.
