Apple Pencil skips, is unresponsive, glitches

I have a Gen 1 Apple Pencil and a iPad Pro 9.7 inch. The Apple Pencil will glitch, skip lines, and sometimes becomes unresponsive in third party apps and Notes. I always keep my Apple Pencil charged so I don’t know why it does this.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Do you have a screen protector fitted to your iPad screen? Some types of screen protector are known to cause issues.


If the screen isn’t working on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If you continue to experience difficulties, you might be well advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store - where the technicians can test and assess both your Apple Pencil and iPad.
