My apple pen (2nd gen) that I use with my iPad Pro running IPadOS 16.6.1 suddenly started dropping "ink" spots when I write and drawing random lines on the page. I need this for my daily work... Why?? Also, why would the tip need to be replaced... I haven't ever replaced it so maybe that is what it needs??
iPad Pro, iPadOS 16
Hi MickeyCortes,
If your Apple Pencil isn't drawing as expected, make sure that its tip isn't loose. If it is, twist it to the right to tighten it. This is mentioned at the bottom of this article: Use Apple Pencil with your iPad
Do you have another tip? If so, you can isolate this behavior further by testing with a different tip. This will tell you if the issue was related to the previous tip that was being used.
If the issue continues, restart your iPad. This may seem like a simple step, but restarting can often fix unexpected issues.
If you notice this behavior with a specific app, the steps in this article may help: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open
1. Close and reopen the app
Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
2. Restart your device
Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
3. Check for updates
To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad.
4. Delete the app, then redownload it
Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.
Regards.
