Yes, any skin contact, or any contact by a conductive material like what they make smart devices styluses out of will result in the phone thinking the was a touch. You can even by gloves with that material on the finger tips. For that matter, you can put the iPhone in a ziplock bag and use it through the plastic.

I was finishing a great bowl of chili and also finishing an audio book on my iPhone 8. I reached over to get a drink of my milk when my left handaccidentally landed on my iPhone. I heard my voiceover say stop and my bard book stopped playing. I know there isn't any problem, but I thought I had to use my fingers to touch the screen. I had no idea that the palm of my hand could also by accident make my phone do stuff. Thanks for any explanation. -- Joshua Hendrickson Joshua Hendrickson -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
