Is it possible to disable autoshapes in Notes?

I take a lot of hand written notes. Sometimes Notes app thinks it’s smarter and will straighten some curve or a wave if I don’t lift Pencil quick enough. It’s a pain when writing kanji especially, where you can’t just do a straight line anywhere. Sometimes it will do something weird like inserting different shapes or arrows.


Is there any way to disable this feature?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

To my knowledge, you cannot disable the auto-shape correction cannot be disabled. However, if the feature is unintentionally triggered by pausing after drawing a line/arc/shape, you simply need to tap the “undo” button to restore the original stroke/shape.
