Apple Pencil Pressure Sensitivity Malfunction

I have an iPad Pro 12.9 inch, second generation that I use with an Apple Pencil from the same generation, that I will have had for three years in December.


Recently, and at seemingly random times, my pencil has started acting up while I'm trying to use it, with the pressure sensitivity suddenly increasing even though I am not actually changing the pressure. I've included an image - this is me drawing straight lines and applying the same pressure to each one, but the pressure sensitivity is acting up on its own. (This is in Procreate and I tried it out in 4 different brushes) I've tried everything the internet says to do if you're having problems with your apple pencil and nothing seems to be working.


Has anyone else experienced any problems like this, and if so are there any solutions?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 13

Hello Thexgarden,


It sounds like you are having an issue when drawing a line the Apple Pencil may show more pressure without adding pressure. To better help determine what is occurring please provide more information.


Does the issue occur in all apps?

Does it do this occur on another device?

Does the same thing occur with a new tip?
