A touch for a given event has left a window on the screen.

```
case regionExited
```

## Discussion

The [`UITouch.Phase.regionEntered`](/documentation/UIKit/UITouch/Phase-swift.enum/regionEntered), [`UITouch.Phase.regionMoved`](/documentation/UIKit/UITouch/Phase-swift.enum/regionMoved), and [`UITouch.Phase.regionExited`](/documentation/UIKit/UITouch/Phase-swift.enum/regionExited) phases don’t always align with the [`state`](/documentation/UIKit/UIGestureRecognizer/state-swift.property) property of a [`UIHoverGestureRecognizer`](/documentation/UIKit/UIHoverGestureRecognizer). States of the hover gesture recognizer only apply within the context of the gesture’s view, whereas the touch states apply within the window.
