How to enable Tap to Click on a Mac

The next-generation Force Touch touchpad starting to be found on MacBook models released in 2018 has an extremely cool and premium feature, which is the tactile feedback to give users the feeling that they have. You can use different levels of pressure to achieve clicks. In other words, you just need to lightly touch the touchpad to make one click. Here's how to enable this Tap to Click feature on your Mac.

When setting up a new Mac, one of the first changes we usually and should make is to enable the Tap to Click feature for the touchpad. This is just a small feature, but it can have a very profound impact on the way and habits you use your Mac in the future.

Instead of pressing the touchpad as usual, you can set it up to simply press with one finger lightly on the touchpad to make a corresponding on-screen click. Two-finger press will bring up a context menu (right-click menu).

You can enable this feature from the System Preferences section. To get started, click on the Apple logo in the top left corner of the screen, then select the ' System Preferences ' option.
