The trackpad on a Macbook is a serious piece of innovative hardware, as it allows users to interact with various elements on the macOS GUI, and the support for multi-finger-based gestures, just takes things to another level, not to mention how insanely big in size the trackpad actually is. One of the things that you might notice on the get-go, is that you will not be able to select an element on the screen, by single tapping on the trackpad. This is a gesture that is available on almost all laptops, and it seems odd that it was omitted from a device as premium as a MacBook, right?

Well, Apple has definitely not omitted this gesture but has simply kept it turned off. If you like the tap-to-click feature and want to use the same on your MacBook, there is a very easy way to access it and enable it, and in this tutorial, we will show you exactly how you can get it done.
