Taps heatmaps shows where users are tapping on your app. It gives information about the most tapped elements and how many taps on these elements.

In the Taps Heatmaps, you can navigate between the different screens that the user saw during the sample session that is being displayed. The screens are displayed in order of appearance to the user. Use the Navigation box to move between the different screens and see the associated elements on each screen.

Rage taps: shows where users tapped rapidly in the same area within a brief period. Learn more about Rage taps.
Error taps: shows taps that occur on a screen that caused the JavaScript errors.
First taps: shows the aggregation of the first tap actions on the screen. These taps are useful to find out user onboarding patterns.

There are different components for the Taps heatmap for Clarity on Mobile apps:

Left panel

The left panel contains all the elements/controls that have received any taps across all sessions with the applied filters. You can find that the elements name might differ slightly from what’s in the app’s code. Taps map displays these ranks elements with the most number of taps on the screen. As you change the taps maps types, the taps data is updated accordingly.

Taps data

As you scroll to the bottom, you can view elements ranked further down the page. Select any element to view the number of taps (% of taps).

If you close the filter, you have to set it through Heatmaps again.
