Hi, I have been trying to adjust the size of the eraser on the notes app while using the apple pencil.
It was initially a large size and suddenly became a tiny sized one ( unaware of how the change happened) . However now I'm unable to alter the size of this eraser . I have tried tilting the pencil and resetting the app. However no luck.
Would love some assistance with this.
iPad (6th gen) WiFi
The eraser has two modes, a pixel mode and an object mode.
You either double tap the eraser to be able to bring up a thin pop-up menu to be able to tap between either or a long press of the eraser to bring up this thin pop-up menu.
I can’t remember which, at the moment.
The pixel eraser is small, while the object eraser is larger.
Good Luck to You!
Have you tried a simple hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons?
I had the same issue, so I was checking and I finally figured it out!
It depends on the angle you use the pencil. Example: 90 degrees (vertically to the IPad) smallest circle; pencil horizontally shows a bigger circle.
I already did in one of my recent replies.
Here it is, again.

Make sure the tip of the Pencil is screwed on securely and snugly ( NOT TOO tight! ).
Then follow all of the troubleshooting tips in this Apple Website Webpage support article.

Also, have you checked the tip of your Pencil, lately, to make sure it is not worn?
Does it look worn?
Apple has a 4 pack of replacement tips for purchase.

Hey I understood the difference between the two erasers. However my query is regarding the use of pixel eraser only. If it's possible to adjust the size of it without adjusting the tilt of your apple pencil.
This tiny dot representing the eraser. It was about three times its size initially. But However it's reduced to this size now. But it won't change with the tilt of the pencil. So I'm not sure how this change happened or how I could control its size . Any inputs will be welcomed. Thanks for your reply .
No I haven't tried that yet. Will it result in a loss of any data ?
Absolutely NOT.
If u don't mind can you guide me through the hard reset .
Thanks will try this out.
Hey I did do the hard reset, still no change.
Ok. Thanks will try it.
