I am trying to use the pinch zoom in and out on trackpad, but it is unable to register on the macbook via ipad mini. Two finger swipe to go back in safari is also not registering. I m currently set on direct touch, as this is the only setting which can atlead do right and left taps successfully. please let me know if there is something in particular that i should be doing. thank you.

  Hi, Thank you for reaching out to us.
  
  Can you please try changing the gesture profile to Trackpad Gaming and see if that helps?
  To do this, connect to the host Mac, then tap the pill icon at the top center of your screen.
  Next, tap the wrench icon to open the Jump Desktop settings. Under Gesture Profile, select Trackpad Gaming.
  As for the pinch-to-zoom gesture, this currently isn’t supported in Direct Touch mode. Our development team is actively working on adding support for this feature in a future update.
  
  Thanks

  Hello, I tried this, and I am still unable to go back (or forwards) in browser. Another problem in trackpad (gaming) gesture mode is, i am unable to see the cursor, inaddition to that, I am unable to click. Cannot click or right click in this mode. Although i can see the action hovering a cursor over a file would do, i can see those actions, but not cursor is seen. The "show pointer" and "show circle" toggles are enabled.
  
  I also noticed "mouse cursor locked" turns on when the settings"wrench" is disengaged. "mouse cursor unlocked" pops up when i engage the wrench (settings) and then i am able to see the circle cursor on ipad.

  P.s. I am also unable to do left click in any of the gesture modes on the apple magic trackpad. Alot of them are able to register right (two finger) click, but none do proper left click. It registers drag tho.

  Ok, I got a workaround, I am now using tailscale + Mobile Mouse app, which lets me use the iphone as mouse and keyboard over the internet. However, I am unable to see the arrow move in Jump Desktop, eventhough i can see it move in the Macbook. Is there any way i can see the cursor move when i use the app, instead of doing it through the Jump Desktop?
