The `changes` event will run whether the user adds letters or remove (delete or backspace) letters. It works for all kind of changes ---

In this case, you need to create your own function. Thunkable does not support that. ---

Just like the search bar was not available in Thunkable but because of the need people think of ways (workarounds) to get the job done. You are asking the text\_input changes event to trigger for letters added to the text but not for letters deleted. A simple way is to test for this condition and only run the code when the condition is right for your specific needs. Something like this ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/d/dd2772a5ff3794015baf0ac53cd14c750abe0183.png) ---
