Touch Action

​Basic usage

​Setting the touch action

Use the touch-* utilities to control how an element can be scrolled (panned) and zoomed (pinched) on touchscreens.

</div>
<div class="w-full h-48 overflow-auto touch-none ...">
  <img class="w-[150%] max-w-none h-auto" src="..." />
</div>
<div class="w-full h-48 overflow-auto touch-pan-x ...">
  <img class="w-[150%] max-w-none h-auto" src="..." />
</div>
<div class="w-full h-48 overflow-auto touch-pan-y ...">
  <img class="w-[150%] max-w-none h-auto" src="..." />
</div>

​Applying conditionally

​Hover, focus, and other states

Tailwind lets you conditionally apply utility classes in different states using variant modifiers. For example, use focus:touch-pan-x to only apply the touch-pan-x utility on focus.

<div class="focus:touch-pan-x">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

For a complete list of all available state modifiers, check out the Hover, Focus, & Other States documentation.

​Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more. For example, use md:touch-pan-x to apply the touch-pan-x utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

<div class="md:touch-pan-x">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
