Embodiments of the present invention disclose a touch response method for a touchscreen and a terminal. The touch response method for a touchscreen includes: detecting touch pressure values of at least two touch points applied on a touchscreen; comparing the touch pressure values of the at least two touch points to obtain at least one valid touch point, where a touch pressure value of the valid touch point is greater than a touch pressure value of an invalid touch point of the at least two touch points; and determining a touch operation corresponding to the valid touch point, and performing the touch operation. According to the embodiments of the present invention, a failure in responding to a touch operation corresponding to a touch point on a touchscreen can be avoided, and touch operation processing efficiency can be improved.
