Mouse movments on MacBook (Host) are not displayed on iPad (Remote)

Hello, my MacBookPro M1 Max (Ventura 13.6.6) is the host and my iPad Pro M1 (17.5.1) is the remote user. I would like to use my MacBook sometimes as a headless system and control it remotely with my iPad via Jump Desktop. I want to use furthermore my Magic Trackpad, which is connected to my MacBook. As soon as I connect to Mac with my iPad, the mouse pointer from the iPad can control the mouse pointer on the Mac, but the mouse pointer movements from the MagicTrackpad (connected to MacBook) are not displayed on the iPad. How can I solve this problem?

Hi, Thank you for reaching out to us.

At the moment, connecting from your iPad to a headless Mac isn't supported.
However, we're actively working on a feature that will allow Virtual Displays from iOS devices, which means you'll soon be able to connect to a headless Mac.
As for the mouse pointer issue, you can fix that by disabling the 'Perform Touch Gestures' option in the Assistive Touch settings on your iPad. Just go to Settings, then Accessibility, tap on Touch, choose AssistiveTouch, and turn off 'Perform Touch Gestures.'

Let me know how it goes
