Trackpad pinch to zoom gesture often fails or not working

I upgrade my old macbook 13 mid 2012 with new macbook air M1, but i have this problem with Monterey and now with Ventura. With my old laptop the gesture works perfectly.

I use spread/pinch gestures a lot (in tool like Figma/sketch or Affinity), but frequently the gesture isn't recognized and my workflow is became frustrating and annoying.


I try safe mode, enable/disable pinch to zoom gesture, change speed/sensitivity.

Also try different app for work around, to remapping gesture but no way.

I read a lot of complaint about this, but i can't find any solution...


I'm seriously thinking to sell this M1 and go back to my old but perfect fully working MBP 13 from 2012...


I can't believe!

Hi leroydouglas, i try many options but the results is unreliable, che gesture is not recognize.

Now i downgrade with new installation of Big Sur and the trackpad works correctly.


It's definitely a software issue, i still remain there and hope Apple fix that because this make me crazy for work.


ps. my last try is a fully new installation of Ventura, not an upgrade

we'll see
