Is there still a three-finger swipe on a macbook Air 2019?

Got a new Mac and I don't see an option on the system preferences to enable swiping on the trackpad. Does anyone know if this amenity is still available?

Macbook Air: 3-finger swipe feature is gone after a system update :( Hello… I need help in restoring the 3 finger swipe feature from one open app to another using the Macbook trackpad. I tried going to “System Preferences -> TrackPad” and ticked all boxes there, but it didn’t work. I also tried to going to “System Preferences -> Accessibility” per recommendation in another thread — but no Trackpad Options there. Help please… thanks in advance. 🙏🏻❤️

MacBook Air Cursor My new MacBook Air - sometimes difficult to find my cursor, but I seem to recall in the initial set-up that by swirling my fingers on the trackpad, the cursor would enlarge and thereby allow you to locate it....how do I make this happen because when I try this, the cursor doesn't enlarge....???

Trackpad looking for non-existent bluetooth trackpad Hello, I recently got a used MacBook Air (Early 2015). I'd like to enable tap-to-click on the built-in trackpad. But when I select trackpad from system preferences, it seems it is looking for an external/bluetooth trackpad which I don't have and as such, the system cannot find it. I examined the bluetooth settings but no device is listed anywhere. Yet an external/bluetooth trackpad is searched for. I can scroll up and down, or, move the pointer using the built-in trackpad but I cannot tap-to-click. Any suggestion as to how to remedy this? Thank you for your help and feedback AGO
