Apple Pencil (2nd Gen) eraser feature.

Before the recent update, my pencil eraser function would erase an entire line drawn, not I have to wipe over the entire line. How do I get it back to normal?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Hello MrThomas8110, 


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! We understand that you have noticed a change in the eraser function of your Apple Pencil. From what you've described, it is now erasing a line pixel by pixel, and not erasing the line as an object. 


Check out the information provided under, "Draw with Apple Pencil," in the article below to learn how to change the eraser option so you can select the line as an object: Use Apple Pencil with your iPad


If the Apple Pencil isn't responding to those steps, try restarting your iPad with these steps: Restart your iPad. Once restarted, try again.


All the best.
