Why can I open a menu on PC but not on Mobile?

I used an Activated event to trigger this function. It works on PC but on mobile the button just goes dark when I click it, but no menu pops up. I know that the If parameter for ContinueScreen doesn't mess with it, I tried removing it and testing on mobile but same result.

Script:

01button.Activated:connect(function()
02    if (not main:FindFirstChild("ContinueScreen")) or (main:FindFirstChild("ContinueScreen") and main.ContinueScreen.Visible == false)   then
03 
04            menu.Position = UDim2.new(0, 0,0.2, 0)
05 
06            Sound.Pitch = 1
07            Sound:Play()
08            if button.Title.Text == "Menu >" then
09                button.Title.Text = "Menu <"
10                button.Title.DropShadow.Text = button.Title.Text
11                char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
12                menu:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0, 0,0.2, 0),"Out",'Quad',.25,true)
13            elseif button.Title.Text == "Menu <" then
14                Sound.Pitch = 1
15                Sound:Play()
16                char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
17                button.Title.Text = "Menu >"
18                button.Title.DropShadow.Text = button.Title.Text
19                menu:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(-0.1, 0,0.2, 0),"Out","Quad",.25,true)
20            end
21        end
22 
23end)

I probably made a stupid mistake but if anyone is free to help I thank you in advance.

Here's code with my explanation, let me know if you run into any issues.

01local MenuOpened = false -- I believe a variable might be good for this scenerio.
02 
03--[[
04Consider using InputBegan, it's widely used and easy to figure out.
05 
06If you're wondering...
07 
08UserInputType is the type of input recieved (keyboard, mouse, touch).
09UserInputState is the state of the input (begin, end, changed).
10]]
11 
12button.InputBegan:Connect(function(InputObject)
13    if InputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 or InputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Touch and InputObject.UserInputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
14        MenuOpened = not MenuOpened
15        if not main:FindFirstChild("ContinueScreen") or (main:FindFirstChild("ContinueScreen") and main.ContinueScreen.Visible == false) then
16            menu.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,0.2,0) -- Not sure why you put this here, this could interfere with the tween, I kept it anyway.
17            if MenuOpened == true then
18                Sound.Pitch = 1
19                button.Title.Text = "Menu <"
20                button.Title.DropShadow.Text = button.Title.Text
21                char:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 0
22                pcall(menu.TweenPosition,menu,UDim2.new(0,0,0.2,0),Enum.EasingDirection.Out,Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,0.25,true)
23            else
24                Sound.Pitch = 1
25                char:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = game:GetService("StarterPlayer").CharacterWalkSpeed
26                button.Title.Text = "Menu >"
27                button.Title.DropShadow.Text = button.Title.Text
28                pcall(menu.TweenPosition,menu,UDim2.new(-0.1,0,0.2,0),Enum.EasingDirection.Out,Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,0.25,true)
29            end
30            pcall(Sound.Play,Sound)
31            --[[
32            'pcall' is good for preventing errors that are not necessary.
33            I use it very often, and I encourage it.
34 
35            Here's a good example of it:
36 
37            local success,response = pcall(function() return "this is what response will be" end)
38            print(success,reponse)
39            Output:
40            > true,"this is what response will be"
41            ]]
42        end
43    end
44end)

I tried your script, still doesn't work. No errors at all. I think I'll just forget having support for mobile, since it doesn't work no matter what I tried. There's probably another problem that I can't find that has to do with it. Dalamix 26 — 4y

I just changed my original event which had MouseButton1Click into MouseButton1Down. For some reason it fixed everything, found it on some roblox dev forum or something. Thanks for trying to answer my question!
