Touch Screen Test

Drag across the area below to paint it. Any spot that stays blank is a dead zone. Use several fingers to check multi-touch. Best on a phone, tablet or touch laptop.

Active touches: 0

On a desktop, click and drag with your mouse. On a touchscreen, use your fingers.

How to test your touchscreen

  1. Slowly drag a finger across every part of the area, covering edges and corners.
  2. Watch for any patch that doesn't get painted — that's a dead zone.
  3. Place several fingers at once; the active-touch counter shows how many points register (multi-touch).
  4. Lift your fingers and watch for marks appearing on their own — that would be a ghost touch.

Common touchscreen problems

Dead zone

An area that never responds, often from a cracked digitizer or a screen-protector bubble. Remove protectors and retest.

Ghost touches

Phantom taps can come from a faulty charger, a bad screen protector, or digitizer damage. Try a different charger and remove the protector first.

Frequently asked questions

How do I test my touchscreen?

Drag across the whole area — any unpainted patch is a dead zone. Use multiple fingers to test multi-touch.

How many fingers should register?

Most modern phones detect 5–10 simultaneous touches. The counter shows your screen's live count.
