Force Click Not Working on Macbook

Try using it in a native Apple application like Safari. I am suspecting that you are using Chrome, Opera, or some other application outside of the Apple ecosystem.

If it doesn't work in Safari, then your you need to take it in for service straight away.

If it does work, then you know that the hardware is good. What's left is that the 3rd party app developers need to add the "force touch" support into their code.


I had the same exact problem. Drove me crazy trying to figure it out. Simple Solution.

Open System Preferences, Trackpad

Under the Point & Click tab make sure that the Look up & data detectors is set to Force click with one finger. Some how, mine got changed to tap with three fingers. I know I didn't change it and I'm the only one that has access to it so its a mystery but now it works so thats all that matters.

Check other force click functions, like clicking on dock icons to show all windows, to make sure your trackpad is registering the clicks. I have the same new Macbook Pro and force click also stopped working in Safari, but it does work in the dock, so it must be a software issue.
