The screen is not measuring pressure in the way a physical button does, so pressing harder usually does not solve the problem.</p> <p>Most modern phones and tablets use a <strong>capacitive touchscreen</strong>. It detects small changes in an electrical property called capacitance near the surface of the display. A bare finger normally creates a change the touchscreen can recognize. A glove can weaken that interaction enough that the device no longer sees a valid touch.</p>
