Random Lines while writing on Ipad How do I resolve this?

I have been having the same issue of having random lines while taking notes on the iPad Pro 12.9 4th Generation.


Here is an example.



Its so frustrating when I have to erase these random lines every single time I write a word. Other than using notability I have tested it on procreate and the same issue occurs.


I have tried to troubleshoot by:

  • reconnecting the apple pencil
  • unable "Zoom" in settings
  • turning on and off palm rejection
  • reinstalling the apps
  • removing the screen protector
  • buying new tips for the pencil
  • changing to a new pencil
  • changing to a new ipad


seriously how do I resolve this? and what is the cause of the issue?

Hello Ga89A,

Be sure that the iPad is up to date with both iPadOS and the apps themselves.


To update iPadOS, follow these steps from Update your iPhone or iPad:

1. Back up your device using iCloud or your computer.
2. Plug your device into power and connect to the internet with Wi-Fi.
3. Go to Settings > General, then tap Software Update.

The Settings app on iPhone showing options to update to iOS 15.7 or iOS 16.
5. Tap Install Now. If you see Download and Install instead, tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, then tap Install Now. If you don't know your passcode, learn what to do.


To update the apps on the device, these steps from How to manually update apps on your Apple device - Apple Support will walk you through it:
