how to differentiate touch and swipe

Hi, did you find out how to differentiate a touch and a swipe ? I'm having the same problem. i tried to solve it via

-TouchPhase.Began (get current position)

-TouchPhase.Moved (check current position with position from began ->if difference is big then it is a swipe and no tap )

-TouchPhase.Ended (check current position with position from began ->if difference too is small then it is a tap and no swipe)

My Problem: tap is recognized too late, when my finger leaves the screen. This is because of TouchPhase.Ended. I'm looking for another solution.

Hey guys- not sure if you solved this but I ran into this problem a day ago as well. Figure I'd leave a solution here as well in case anyone needs it in the future. I ended up solving this with the following steps: 1. on Input.touches[0].phase == TouchPhase.Began I set a private bool tapRequested to true 2. Create a Vector2 called SwipeDelta to check the magnitude of each swipe. If the magnitude is a certain distance, say 100, set tapRequested to false and set swipeRight, swipeLeft, etc to true 3. When touchphase ends, check if tapRequested is still true. If so, it was a swipe and not a tap. That means the player made either a very small swipe, or tap. You'll have to adjust the number "100" to whatever sensitivity setting feels best for you.

Here is the tutorial I started with and my final code modified to fit my needs: YouTube Tutorial

 public class Swipe : MonoBehaviour
 {
     private bool tap, swipeLeft, swipeRight, swipeUp, swipeDown;
     private bool tapRequested;
     private bool isDragging = false;
     private Vector2 startTouch, swipeDelta;
 
     private void Update()
     {
         tap = swipeLeft = swipeRight = swipeUp = swipeDown = false;
 
         #region Standalone Inputs
         if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
         {
             tapRequested = true;
             isDragging = true;
             startTouch = Input.mousePosition;
         }
         else if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
         {
             if (tapRequested) { tap = true;}
             isDragging = false;
             Reset();
         }
         #endregion
 
         #region Mobile Inputs
         if(Input.touchCount > 0)
         {
             if(Input.touches[0].phase == TouchPhase.Began)
             {
                 tapRequested = true;
                 isDragging = true;
                 startTouch = Input.touches[0].position;

             else if (Input.touches[0].phase == TouchPhase.Ended || Input.touches[0].phase == TouchPhase.Canceled)
             {
                 if (tapRequested) { tap = true; }

         }
 
         //Did we cross the dead zone?
         if(swipeDelta.magnitude > 100)
