Abstract

According to a touch event processing method and apparatus, and a terminal device, if a multi-point touch event that is not processed and that is to be discarded exists, and an application program running in a foreground is a key application program, touch points falling within a target control response area of the application program running in the foreground are determined in touch points of the multi-point touch event. Then, a new touch event is obtained according to the touch points falling within the target control response area, and the new touch event is re-transferred to the application program running in the foreground, so that the application program running in the foreground responds to the new touch event. This resolves a problem that, in some scenarios, a touchscreen does not respond to a touch operation performed by a user.
