`UILongPressGestureRecognizer` is a concrete subclass of `UIGestureRecognizer`, used to detect and handle user initiated long press events in iOS. Use this tag only for questions specifically about or closely related to using this subclass.
For gesture recognition, the specified number of fingers must tap the view a specified number of times. Although taps are discrete gestures, they’re discrete for each state of the gesture recognizer. The system sends the associated action message when the gesture begins and then again for each intermediate state until (and including) the ending state of the gesture.
