Auto Straighten Handwriting in Notes

Im using iPad Pro 12.9 with apple pencil 2.

when im handwriting in notes it “snaps” or predictive finishes my lines.

For example when I finish a stroke the end of the stroke snaps back a few pixels to complete what it thinks is my line. i find it highly distracting when trying to jot a thought or capture something in writing.

Its like im focusing on a small animation vs the thought in my head.


How do i turn off or adjust this setting?

Seems no one provided an answer.

2021… can you help me find the setting?


( i only have a Paperlike screen protector on the screen. Im using the current iOs [14.7.1] and im using the standard notes app… not a third party note taking, sketching, or journaling app)



iPad Pro, iPadOS 14

Hi AnapesticBurn,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today as we understand, handwritten notes don't seem to work as you're expecting.


Did you unpair your pencil and set it up again? Connect Apple Pencil with your iPad.


When's the last time you restarted your iPad?


Also review: Draw or write in Notes on iPad.


Let us know if the issue continues.


Have a fantastic day!

I’ve re-“paired” my pencil, and have restart the app, iPad… and nothing.


I spent 2 hours via chat with Apple support and had the worst experience. I spoke for 2 hours with an over the phone rep. Still no answers.


I have an appointment Friday to return all my Apple products. Ive received such abysmal and disrespectful support I’m through wasting time on this issue and any future ones.


worthless support staff that has convinced me I have thrown my money away investing in.
