My Apple Pencil keeps glitching

Hi!

My Apple Pencil keeps glitching on every app - drawing random lines and dots, like an electronic fountain pen spill. And it breaks up my writing.

I have the iPad Air (4th generation) and Apple Pencil 2nd Generation.

I've tried the following things:

Changing my Apple Pencil Tip to a new one.
Restarting the iPad.
Factory reset the iPad.
Reconnecting the Apple Pencil.
Holding the metal side of the iPad while writing.
Removing the case and screen protector while writing.
Taking the iPad out the charger while writing.
Using different writings apps: GoodNotes5, Notability, even the Apple Notes App itself.

Also sometimes when I try to scroll, the iPad doesn't recognize my fingers but only the Apple Pencil, so I have to lock the screen.

iPad Air, iPadOS 16

Time to use the “Get Support” link, in the bkack menu bar, at the upper right hand corner of every Apple Support Community Webpage to attempt to schedule an appointment with your nearest Apple Store location to have both your iPad and Apple Pencil diagnosed and options presented to you.

Apple Store employees will be glad to help/assist you.

Best of Luck to You!
