How do you scroll on a MacBook

[Amelia]

I recently started using a MacBook and I’m having trouble with scrolling. I’m not sure about the gestures or settings. Can someone explain how to scroll properly on a MacBook?

On a MacBook, scroll by placing two fingers on the trackpad and sliding up or down. You can adjust scrolling direction in System Settings under Trackpad → Scroll & Zoom preferences.

On a MacBook, you scroll using the trackpad with two fingers. Just place two fingers on the trackpad and slide up or down (it feels like you’re moving the page itself, which is Apple’s “natural scrolling”). I found it a bit odd at first, but you get used to it quickly, and you can always change the scroll direction in System Settings if it feels backwards.

To scroll on a MacBook, use two fingers on the trackpad and slide them up or down to move through a page, or left and right for horizontal scrolling. By default, it uses natural scrolling, where moving fingers up scrolls the page down. You can also scroll using a mouse if connected, and adjust settings in Trackpad preferences.
