Macbook Trackpad Tap To Drag Issues

It seems like apple moved the option for enabling tap-to-drag to the accessibility pane. You can enable it there:

Select Mouse & Trackpad in the accessibility pane of the system preferences and enter the Trackpad OptionsEnable dragging

Note: ticking three-finger drag (in the Trackpad prefs pane) will change the Accessibility-pane setting. Unticking the drag setting in the Trackpad-pane first then follow these instructions to check your Accessibility preferences.


I have "Enable dragging" under Acessibility turned off and "Tap to click" turned on under Trackpad -> Point & Click. Everything both clicking (by tapping) and dragging works on my internal trackpad.


This answer is still relevant (I will update if needed or stops working). Just confirmed it on a new 2016 MacBook: both three finger drag + tap and drag works.
