I have a Bluetooth trackpad I’d used on my old MacBook Pro. I now have it synced to my IPad Pro, but two finger scrolling and three finger gestures won’t work. I can only move the cursor and click. Is it just too old of a trackpad model?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 14
iPadOS provides full support for the [current] Apple Magic Trackpad 2 and Magic Mouse 2.

The original versions of both are not properly supported by iPadOS. As such, if your trackpad is not a Magic Trackpad 2, you are likely to encounter difficulties.

Just how old is the trackpad (or how old was the MBP)? I seem to recall that the multi-touch protocol changed at some point, such that even some older Apple peripherals reverted to only basic move and click with newer systems.
That's possible. Just how old is it? Did it support multi-finger gestures when it was attached to your old MacBook Pro?
It did. Thanks.
Bluetooth trackpad won’t allow finger swipe gestures on IPad Pro
