Gestures are essential to using Pages on your iPhone or iPad. These are the gestures you need to know:

Ipad mouse gestures for magic mouse 2

The following iPad mouse gestures only work with the Magic Mouse 2.

Scroll: Slide a finger on the surface of the mouse to scroll in any direction.
Search: Swipe down with a finger on the mouse surface on any Home screen.
Today view: With the Home or Lock screen visible, swipe right on the mouse surface.
Secondary click: Click the right mouse side to bring up the contextual menu when clicking Home screen icons, mail messages and other items.

Wanna tell your iPad which mouse side to use for secondary clicks?

It’s easy, simply venture into Settings → General → Trackpad & Mouse → Secondary Click, then specify a finger to use for your secondary mouse button clicks. Note that you won’t see this section unless a mouse is paired with your iPad and turned on.

You can choose which side of the mouse to use for your secondary click

To disable the feature, set the value to “Off”. You can also perform a secondary click by pressing the Control key on your external iPad keyboard while clicking the mouse.

To reiterate, iPadOS doesn’t support scrolling and other Multi-Touch gestures on the first-generation Magic Mouse or the first-generation Magic Trackpad.

Ipad trackpad gestures for magic trackpad 2

The Magic Trackpad 2 supports all of the Multi-Touch trackpad gestures that work on the first-generation model. On top of that, the Magic Trackpad 2 supports the following additional trackpad gestures which don’t work on the original Magic Trackpad accessory.

Scroll: Swipe with two fingers vertically or horizontally to scroll up/down or left/right.
Home screen: Swipe up with three fingers.
Today view: Get to the first Home screen, then swipe right with two fingers.
Search: Swipe down with two fingers on any Home screen.
Switch between open apps: Swipe horizontally with three fingers.
App switcher: Swipe up with three fingers, then pause before lifting them. As an alternative method, place four fingers near each other on the trackpad then bring them closer together, pausing before you lift the fingers.
Zoom: Place two fingers near each other on the trackpad, then spread them apart to zoom in or bring them closer together to zoom out.
Secondary click: Tap with two fingers to show the contextual menu for Home screen icons, email messages, the Camera button in Control Center and other items.

You can disable the two-finger secondary click gesture for the connected trackpad by venturing to Settings → General → Trackpad → Two Finger Secondary Click.

Enable this to invoke the contextual menu with a two-finger tap on the trackpad

If you disable this handy shortcut, clicking an item with two fingers on the trackpad will no longer pull up iOS’ contextual menu. Thankfully, however, you can achieve the very same effect by pressing the Control key on your physical iPad keyboard while clicking the trackpad.

Ipad trackpad gestures: multi-touch at its best

If you’ve ever used a Mac notebook, you definitely know that Apple’s implementation of Multi-Touch technology paired with precise glass trackpads is superior to similar offerings.

iPad trackpad gestures are especially great for complex productivity apps

Once you get the hang of them, these fluid gestures will become second nature. And they’re quite intuitive, too, allowing you to perform useful actions right from the trackpad.

Here are some examples:

Switch between apps: Swipe left or right with three fingers to switch between apps.
App switcher: Swipe up with three fingers and pause to open the iOS app switcher.
Go home: Swipe up with three fingers to go home from anywhere in iPadOS.
Switch between spaces: Swipe left or right with three fingers.
Zoom: Pinch in and out to zoom.
Right click: Click with two fingers on the trackpad or one finger on your Magic Mouse.
Scroll: Use two fingers on the trackpad or one finger on your Magic Mouse to scroll.

Trackpad support is available on any iPad model running iPadOS 13.4 or later.

It works with Apple’s Magic Mouse 2 and Magic Trackpad 2 accessories, as well as with the Magic Keyboard for the 2021 iPad Pro and later. While third-party mice connected over Bluetooth or USB are also supported, third-party wireless or wired trackpads are not.

To pair your Magic Trackpad, tap it when it appears in the Other Devices section
