iPad palm rejection with Apple Pencil

Hello,

6th generation iPad (updated to iOS 13.3)

1st generation Apple Pencil (paired and unpaired several times, iPad hard reset several times)

Used mostly with Procreate but issue exists in all Apps.

Palm rejection seems to start failing (line breaks, unresponsive) once the Apple Pencil starts to drop below 98% charge.

Failure happens with all brushes (in Procreate) and in other iOS Apps as well (Notes App for example).

Apple Pencil works fine as long as my palm doesn’t rest on the screen.

All iPad Accessibility > Touch settings are off

Issue did not exist prior to recent iOS update(s).

I’m guessing it’s an iOS issue. Please help.

Thanks

No.

However I did find an old post that had a solution to my problem.

I turned off all iPad Accessibility > Zoom settings and it seems to be working correctly now.

I’ve never changed any of these settings, so something new must have been added or changed in an update.

Thanks
