This helped me to find out that my Huawei phone had "AI Touch" enabled. That apparently is a feature to touch any image with two fingers and the super smart AI finds out what is shown in the picture and where to buy it. Goes without saying that I immediately disabled this. /shrug
Aka "every time you touch something registered as two fingers, that gets phoned home to Huawei and likely incorporated into an ad signals database.

Doesn't work on Firefox for android either.

Amazing. That’s a feature you’d expect at the top of an HN brainstorm for comically bad, far fetched phone ideas.
The next version: When you touch an item in a photo you automatically buy it. There is supposedly a way to see that this is happening and cancel it, but that part of the interface isn't intuitive and attempts to cancel more often result in additional purchases. This cannot be turned off, and the new phone can't be used in the first place until you set up credit card billing. It also seems to trigger "automatically" a…
This would be a fun game with some UX improvements. It's extremely frustrating when the reason I can't finish a puzzle is because my finger slipped off the line and not because I just don't know the solution. I stopped playing because of how frustrating that was.
It's a dexterity game. Think of it like Jenga, even if you know which block to pull out, the tower can still fall if you don't do it cleanly. At least with this you don't need to rebuild the whole tower!
Also, the cost of failing is not much, quick iterations. You just have to remember what you did.

It goes up to 4 fingers, and the last one is 3 fingers again but basically impossible without switching fingers. Edit: nvm its possible without cheating
The hardest one for me was the 4 fingered puzzle where you had to move all 4 from one side of the screen to the other in a line, except the lines overlapped with the neighbors multiple times.

quit at 2 fingers because, why am i doing this? (i've actually commented before on HN about my dislike of all the sliders in the iOS UI, what an annoyingly difficult specialized skill to have to say up on just to hit what should be very fast and simple radio buttons or checkboxes)
The slider-style switches are dumb eye candy, I agree, but you don’t have to treat them as such, they toggle when tapped. My big annoyance is how these massive balls of JavaScript and images and crap have infected UIs of web apps everywhere, as though people couldn’t understand a checkbox or something. Silly “UI designer” fad, and quite pathetic for a designer really, to just copy whatever Apple did.
You discard all the psychographic data and blindly apply let's call "apple-ify.css" where you change the fonts, colors and contrast to just knockoff apple and then charge something like $499 for it with an elaborate pitch using buzzwords about machine learning and big data on how you're doing the latest in analysis driven design with cutting edge AI.
Meanwhile it's just a stupid static css file.
It'd probably work frighteningly well

Did it think they’re chromosomes and try to sell DNA testing services?

The same, my S23 doesn't recognise 4 touches.
Does it really not? I remember a lot of years back everyone was boasting how they can recognize 10 touches at the same time. Perhaps try an app, to see if the limitation comes from hardware or software? My Note9 is able to register at least 10 separate touches in Chwazi app (just tested). Seems weird a newer phone in the basically same line would downgrade to three.

Found out that if you activate 3-finger touch for screenshot, that disables the phone's ability to register more than 3 touch points. With that disabled I can now play the game again (and after several 4-fingered ones I'm now stuck at a 3-finger one)
Quite fun game!
