When I draw on procreate it randomly stops working and I just got my Apple Pencil 1st generation yesterday

My Apple Pencil 1 will randomly stop working and stop writing when the battery is full ? What can I do about it?

Apple pencil lines start with a dot I just bought an M2 iPad Pro and a new Apple Pencil as well. When I'm drawing or writing most lines start with a noticeable dot and this happens in all drawing apps. I tried turning off Zoom and Double Tap, updating iOS, resetting, un-pairing and pairing the pencil, making sure no static electricity is interfering and a few other things, but nothing has helped so far.

My iPad refuses to draw on a specific area. This happened weeks ago, and for some reason, my iPad is refusing to draw on a specific horizontal line. I noticed this problem when I’m simply trying to draw on procreate with my apple pencil. The same thing occurs when I draw with my finger. I thought procreate was the issue, but as I tried to draw on other drawing platforms the same issue happened. I’ve hard reset my iPad, and refreshed the app. The same problem still occurs. I’m using the iPad 6 with the 1st generation apple pencil. I haven’t had any recent damage of both devices.Is there a way I can fix this?

Apple Pencil 2 missing double tap options I have an 11” IPad Pro 3rd gen with Apple Pencil 2. IOS 15.7. When I go to settings to check or change the pencil settings, I don’t have any options to do so. I just get something about scribble. Double tap doesn’t work on the pencil. I’ve restarted, rebooted, disconnected and everything else that has been suggested to no avail. What’s next.

Well,

For starters, just pairing the Pencil to the iPad over Bluetooth is not enough.

Check all the stylus settings in Procreate.

You find those under the wrench/tool icon under the Prefs option and make sure the Apple Pencil is the main stylus and adjust any of the additional Pencil settings.

Best of Luck to You!
