Trackpad Click Not Working on MacBook Air M2 After macOS Sequoia 15.5 Update Hi everyone, After updating to macOS Sequoia 15.5, the trackpad on my MacBook Air M2 (13-inch) no longer responds to physical clicks. Scrolling, cursor movement, and tap-to-click all work as expected However, the haptic click (Haptic Touch) no longer functions at all I haven’t changed any system settings, and the trackpad was working fine before the update I’ve tried restarting, booting in Safe Mode, and running Apple Diagnostics, but no issues were found Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Two finger zoom on trackpad not working. Running a 13-inch, 2019 MacBook Pro, mac OS Ventura. My two-finger zoom (pinch) in and out stops working continually. The only fix seems to be to reset the trackpad gestures (System Settings>trackpad>scroll & zoom>turn off and then back on "Zoom in or out") and I am having to do this regularly throughout the day. As you can imagine, this is not ideal. It seems to be worse working in Adobe CC (up-to-date) programs. I have found a handful of others having similar issues. Is there a fix, or developers working on this?

Trackpad non-responsive to pinching / specific gestures Hi all, Since updating to MacOS Ventura, I was occasionally experiencing buggy trackpad that did not respond to certain gestures, e.g. pinch to zoom / swiping back in webpages. It would persist for like a few minutes then returned to normal, but for several times a day. The issue occurred with both Apple apps (e.g. pages / quick look) and 3rd party apps (e.g. word / notability). Hardware was found to be operating normally with SMC / PRAM reset done before. Anyone is experiencing similar issues? Any fix to the problem? Thank you :)
