I am confused by the difference between touches and taps like touchUpInside event and one tap. Are they the same thing?

Is tap and touch the same thing?

Touch makes people hold down for a little longer than tap does. And then of course, hold would make you hold down the button longer than tap or touch. Tap generally means you want a quick interaction. If you want the user to quickly release, you would tell them to tap.

What is touch tap?

Tapping Touch is a holistic-care technique using touch and Rhythm. It is performed by tapping gently with the balls of the fingers of the right and left alternately.

I have found that taps are the number of taps for the gesture to be recognized.

Touches are the number of fingers required to tap for the gesture to be recognized.

A tap is the equivalent of a click, a rapid touch start and touch end (which counts as ONE event)

a touch can be lingering...you may touchdown, then move your finger to the button, then lifting your finger fires the touch up (inside the button)
