I recently started using Home Assistant and quickly realized that it needs a function, especially useful in the case of the mobile phone application, which is to be able to mark or not when we create a card with an on/off button or a scroll bar that changes a value, that HA asks us for confirmation of the change of said value. The reason is that I have my solar installation integrated and when I view it on the phone, when moving the screen vertically with my finger, I often accidentally change electrical values that could end up being serious. It is an option that could be added when creating the card, to ask for confirmation of the change of value. Thank you.
Here I’m assuming you’re talking about hitting a switch by mistake, or something similar. If so, this is already implemented.
The confirmation prompt is implemented in most cards, but it’s disabled by default.
All you need to do is add it to the tap_action in your cards with an optional prompt and you’re done. Alternatively, remove the tap_action or set it to none, then only use hold_action or double_tap_action to make sure your fat-fingered scrolling doesn’t trigger whatever you have on your dashboard unnecessarily.

Closing as already implemented. It would have been wise to ask how to do this in the Frontend Configuration category (to check if it already exists) before asking for it to be implemented.
FYI you can also make the controls read only so no one can change them. See: Read only sensor/helper display without templates
