Apple Notes Lag

I have an iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil. The iPad is new; I recently had it replaced through AppleCare for a broken screen. I have had the Pencil for two years, but it has not been used until the past couple months. My Pencil is in excellent condition and so is the tip. All of my apps are updated and I am on IOS 15.3.1.

I use Apple Notes for taking notes in school, which includes making diagrams for notes.

When using Apple Notes, some notes lag, and there is a very noticeable lag between when I place the tip of my Apple Pencil on the screen and when a line begins to appear. I have iCloud off for my notes and they are all stored locally. The storage on my iPad is 15.3gb/256gb.

Help fixing this lag would be appreciated.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Hello Laddy-Ben,

As your Notes app is lagging when using the Apple Pencil and the Apple Pencil was just replaced, if this is only happening in the Notes app, follow these steps If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open.

If this happens in multiple apps, review the steps in About iOS performance on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

For both scenarios "If you tried these tips and your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is still slow or continues to freeze, contact Apple Support."

Hope this helps.

Have a good day.
