My apple pencil started making wavy lines recently.
Sometimes the lines break too, leaving a gap..these stuff happen randomly and idk whats the issue.
I pads these days have more and more issuses cropping up ..i already got my i pad replaced by warranty cuz touch wasnt working properly and with the apple pencil lines were breaking ,my old first gen ipad pro didn’t have such issues .. :(
iPad Pro, iPadOS 13
Hi Xorsama,
We see from your post that when drawing with your Apple Pencil on your iPad, the Pencil doesn't draw a continuous line.
To make sure we're on the same page, can you let us know the answer to the following:

hi thanks for the reply
i think its a certain part of the screen especially the center...
i tested it a bit in the image above
I couldn’t reproduce a break in this one but you can see how the lines in the center are more wobbly ..jittery than the ones in the side
Huh. That's so weird. I use Procreate with the Pencil so here are a few things that could help you find the root cause:
a) do you use any screen protectors? sometimes they interfere with the Pencil.
b) do you see any damage to the nib? or when you remove the nib? anything out of the ordinary? try replacing the nib, maybe?
Hope you figure it out!
no screen protector on atm .. i removed it, still there
ill try changing the tip and see
... the only thing i notice is this happens when my palm touches the screen this happens
when my palm is off the screen lines are goood and not wobbly
and yea i use procreate too and this happens there too +sometimes the pressure jumps in procreate.. like im drawing low opacity stroke and it goes for a while and then bam suddenly its in full opacity
Oooh. Okay. Sometimes tweaking this setting helps, apart from the nib:
Go to Settings > Apple Pencil > and check if the "Only Draw with Apple Pencil" option is checked. It might be registering your fingers/hand too; sometimes this makes a difference on how it behaves.
No, no - the setting mentioned above is an iPadOS setting, simply navigate through Settings & check if it makes a difference.
Settings > Apple Pencil > Only Draw with Apple Pencil (there should be a slider next to it on iPadOS 14.2)
Good luck! 🙏
ohhh
ok so i tried that and replacing the tip
didnt help...
btw in case this helps, when ever there is a break in the line or lines become wavy, there is a slight lag before that happens
like i make a stroke, there is a slight lag, then the stroke appears but wavy...
ill try to record it but it may be hard as the lag is very slight
After all that, it could be a serviceable issue tbh. Can you take both the pencil and the iPad to an Apple Store and explain everything? Maybe also get the Support app and schedule a time with them.
It could be a pressure/screen defect, maybe.
yea its possible, ill try go n see if they can do anything
unfortunately im not hopeful, in my country they dont really do repairs, if its under warranty they give you a new one, if not well ur on ur own..
I cracked my screen of my i pad pro 1st gen , and they told theres nothing they can do
My i pad airs touch stopped working ,luckily it was in warranty so they just gave a new one, sadly its not in warranty anymore
Oof!
So the warranty is expired :(
Try your luck though, you can say that the device has been consistently giving you issues, first the touch then this. They could trade the device if they are sure the problem is not you (had this experience with my friend's iPhone, they just.......gave her a new one).
Best of luck, make sure you get a back-up!
Make sure the tip of the Pencil is screwed on securely.
Hey I think it’s not the center of the screen when jitter happens but when my palm touches the screen,when I draw on the sides naturally my palm is off the screen
I checked it..it’s screwed on as tightly as I could
The tip does not have to be overly/super tight, but snug so it not too easy to unscrew when needed.
