Element: gestureend event

Non-standard: This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

The gestureend event is fired when there are no longer multiple fingers contacting the touch surface, thus ending the gesture.

It is a proprietary event specific to WebKit.

Syntax

Use the event name in methods like addEventListener(), or set an event handler property.

js
addEventListener("gestureend", (event) => {});

ongestureend = (event) => {};

Event type
