Hello there, OtemaDuncan.


It sounds like you're trying to enable three finger drag on your MacBook Pro. The following Knowledge Base article runs through how to do just that:


Turn on "three finger drag" for your Force Touch trackpad

Here's how to turn on three finger drag if your Mac has a Force Touch trackpad.

  1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
  2. Click the Accessibility icon.
  3. Choose Mouse & Trackpad from the options on the left.
  4. Click Trackpad Options.
  5. Place a checkmark next to "Enable dragging."
  6. From the related pop-up menu, choose “three finger drag” so there's a checkmark next to it.
  7. Click OK.
