tappable
Able to tap
Tappable describes something that can be tapped, especially on a touchscreen interface.
A tappable button or link responds when you touch it with your finger: Make sure all tappable elements are large enough for users to hit easily.
The word belongs to the vocabulary of mobile app and web design, where distinguishing tappable from non-tappable areas matters for usability.
