Change trackpad settings on iPad

You can change how you use a trackpad to interact with items on the iPad screen.

Go to Settings > General, then choose one of the following, depending on your accessories:
- Trackpad
- Trackpad & Mouse
Do any of the following:
- Change the tracking speed: Drag the slider to set the tracking speed of the pointer when you move it across the screen.
- Turn Natural Scrolling on or off: With this option selected, the contents on the screen move in the same direction as your finger.
- Turn Tap to Click on or off: If you select this option, lightly tapping the trackpad with one finger has the same effect as pressing the trackpad until it clicks.
- Turn Two-Finger Secondary Click on or off: With this option selected, you click with two fingers to show the quick actions menu for items like icons on the Home screen, messages in a mailbox, or the Camera button in Control Center.

Note: You can also change the appearance of the pointer, such as its color, shape, and size. See Change the pointer appearance when using a mouse or trackpad with iPad.
