Eraser disappeared on iPad notes

Hi,

The eraser functionality seems to have disappeared from the toolbar on iPad notes. Even when I double tap the Apple Pencil it does not show up (and I have changed the iPad settings to set a double tap to change between the eraser and "current tool").


Can anyone help?

iPad Air, iPadOS 15

I had the same issue today. Tried to restart the iPad, unpair the Pencil to no avail. Ended up making sure all notes were backup up to iCloud and deleted the Notes app. Once re-installed, I was able to gain the all important eraser tool back. Hope that helps!
