TouchEvent: changedTouches property

The changedTouches read-only property is a TouchList whose touch points (Touch objects) varies depending on the event type, as follows:

Value

A TouchList whose Touch objects include all the touch points that contributed to this touch event.

Examples

This example illustrates the TouchEvent object's TouchEvent.changedTouches property. The TouchEvent.changedTouches property is a TouchList object that contains one Touch object for each touch point which contributed to the event.

In following code snippet, the touchmove event handler iterates through the changedTouches list and prints the identifier of each touch point that changed since the last event.

js
someElement.addEventListener("touchmove", (e) => {
  // Iterate through the list of touch points that changed
  // since the last event and print each touch point's identifier.
  for (let i = 0; i < e.changedTouches.length; i++) {
    console.log(
      `changedTouches[${i}].identifier = ${e.changedTouches[i].identifier}`,
    );
  }
});
