Is 3 finger swipe dead in Tahoe? So frustrating.

Original Title: Swipe in Tahoe

This is built in trackpad...

up down, left or right...(?) what are you expecting it to do exactly. Avoid conflicting gestures

You can make changes to your Settings and compare your results

>System Settings>Trackpad

>System Settings>Accessibility>Click Pointer Control>Trackpad Options

Turn OFF/PN “Use trackpad for dragging” (or “Enable dragging”).?

I've always been able to swipe 3 fingers left to go back (either on a website or a finder window).

It's not working now and I'm not seeing that option.

Now I have to use the back arrow to go back to a page I've previously been on.

?

I can only assume this is with the built in trackpad...

if you toggled changes, then come back to your preferred setting to test, and no insight or resolve

A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

This test will tell you if third party interference; most extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.

—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account. 

unplug all non-essential peripherals when testing

Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus

all known to cause issues on the macOS

Thank you. I guess I wasn't looking in the right place.

Good computing mickeyjca... sounds like trackpad settings solved your issue.
