The default scrolling direction in macOS is defined as “natural scrolling”, where you slide your fingers up to move the page down and vice versa. However, many users prefer the traditional scrolling direction as performed on Windows, where swiping up moves the page up and swiping down moves the page down. In this article, we'll explain how to change the default scrolling direction on macOS.
Step 1: Access System Preferences
Click on the Apple button in the upper left corner of the screen and select "System Preferences".
Step 2: Go to Trackpad or Mouse Options
Select "Trackpad" or "Mouse" in System Preferences depending on the device you use.
Step 3: Change the Scrolling Direction
Uncheck the “Natural Scrolling” option to change the scrolling direction to the traditional one. This will make the scrolling direction opposite the default setting.
You can also change the scroll direction on other input devices, such as Wacom tablets or third-party devices, in each device's settings.
Changing the default scroll direction on macOS is simple and can improve the user experience for many users. With this article, we hope we have helped you to change the default scrolling direction on your Mac easily and efficiently.
