Recently, Apple released macOS Monterey 12.1 beta 4 and the update fixes the “Tap to Click” trackpad issue. After upgrading to macOS Monterey 12, users highlighted several issues like memory leak, USB-C hub connectivity failure, bricking Macs, and the failure to use the ‘Tap to Click’ trackpad gesture. The issue affected M1 and Intel bases Mac models.
Fortunately, the new update resolves that issue as per user feedback on Reddit. @John_val wrote that “updated, both the tap to click issue and the gamma bug seem to have been fixed.” Users can easily enable the “Tap to Click” feature on macOS Monterey; simply open System Preferences > Trackpad > Point & Click to easily select text to copy, cut or delete.
