is there a trick to drawing in the Notes app with your finger? I tapped the markup icon and then selected a bunch of different pen types and thicknesses and colors, and when I drag my finger to draw in a note, nothing happens. Thanks for any suggestions. I’m on an iPad running the latest iOS software.

Thanks, I figured out the problem. In Notes settings (in the Settings app), I had "draw only with Apple Pencil" set to on. I turned it off, and can now draw with my finger.
