Provided are techniques for automatically correcting touchscreen errors. A first location input is received from a user touching a global touchscreen of a global device, where the first location input is a location relative to a display surface of the global touchscreen. It is determined that movement of the global device is different from movement of a local device. Motion information of the local device is retrieved. The first location input is corrected to a second location input based on the motion information. In response to the second location input, an operation is performed.
