Happening to me as well, M1 MacBook Air.
Pinch-to-zoom working in other Mac apps perfectly fine.

I’m also running into this problem. Macbook pro 2016. One workaround that fixed it was using command+(+/-) to zoom in and out and it started working again. Better than closing everything out - looking forward to a permanent fix!

Happens to me too occasionally. I find that putting my Mac into and out of sleep quickly is the most convenient way to fix it.
Thanks Joey - magic solution! Tedious, sure. But it worked!
macOS Setting → Trackpad → Pinch to Zoom → Change from enabled, to disabled, then back to enabled will fix it.
That worked for me too. Thank you 
Regular frustrating problem for me too, multiple times a day and fairly random.

Also struggling with this issue unfortunately. Disable/Enable Pinch to Zoom works well for me but can’t wait for this bug to be fixed!

I’m also having the same issue. Would be amazing to have a fix, its definitely an obstacle to getting work done.

I experience this issue almost daily with both my rechargeable trackpad and built-in trackpad. MacOS 12.3.1. It’s such a pain, I can Zoom to the level of granularity that I need unless I use Command +, which uses a stepped system.
Please address this Figma team!

I’m on an M1 MBP 14". Experience this issue frequently throughout the day. It eventually either resolves itself on its own after some time, or I need to turn my trackpad off and back on again (i use an external magic trackpad).

I have this issue now on a daily basis, and i’m wasting serious time with this… sometimes it takes minutes to get back, or I can restart the whole stuff, but this is ridicolous… Figma, please fix this!

It’s getting worse. Now I encounter this issue every day.

On a 16-inch MBP M1 Pro and running into this at least once or twice a day. Best fix I’ve found is disabling pinch-to-zoom in system preferences and then re-enabling. Would love to see a fix for this soon. It seems like a small thing but when you’re in flow it can be jarring.
Not really a solution, but if you “Figma > check for updates” the problem is solved for a while (some times you need to do it 2 times). But 3 times in one hour is really enough.
Please fix this @ Figma! 
Same issue intermittently

This issue is happening again on all my figma files.

Fortunately I’ve never had this happen on MacOS.
The Windows bug for pinch zoom however was 100% terrible all the time.
Same here, very frustrating!

I’ve been having this same issue for a few weeks now. Unlike some people, the issue was universal for me. Once I opened Figma and the bug occurred, I couldn’t zoom on browser, adobe apps, etc. I also had the bug happen when in Miro when Figma wasn’t even open, so I have a feeling it’s not a Figma specific issue for me, like Joe said.
I’m on a MBP and my quick solution has been to just close my computer and open it back up quick. Fixes it for me, but is a hassle.
Same problem here
