Perfect shapes/auto shapes not working via Markup in iOS 14.1? Hey all - I got my new iPhone 12 Pro with iOS 14.1 and one of the first things I did is try drawing a shape (a heart) via photo Markup, and as promised, the shape automatically transformed into a perfect heart. Fast forward to 2 weeks later, and the function has seemed to stop working? Whenever I draw a shape in Markup (whether through Messages, Mail or Photos), it does not transform anymore. I've tried multiple shapes, all drawn in one stroke, but none work. Similarly, I upgraded to iOS 14.1 on a second device (iPhone 11), but the perfect shapes do not work there either. Is there a setting I somehow missed or turned off? I feel like I'm missing something really simple here. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

shapes at annotation tool are not working with apple pencil on iPad Hello All, I am using apple iPad (7th gen) with latest iPadOS 13.5.1 and apple pencil (1st gen) with latest firmware 2.61. I am facing a problem with the annotation tool, here at annotation tool, there are shapes and annotation feature i.e. eclipse, rectangle etc. .When I am using shape annotation feature with my finger, these are working perfectly. But when I am using these shape annotation feature with my Apple Pencil then these are not working properly. It is just placing the shape in the middle of pdf page ( using books) and not able to move or resize shapes with Apple Pencil. Please refer the screenshot. I placed the rectangle with help on annotation tool, shape option comes when we click on ‘+’ at bottom annotation tool. Further I am not able to move and resize it with Apple Pencil. I did followed 1. Restart device multiple times 2. Used update option in iPad recovery mode using iTunes at Mac PC 3. Firmware update for Apple Pencil, although it already up do date 4. I also changed the tip of pencil but it also not helped. I contacted support team multiple time but got no help for the issue.

Help with the swipe up function- ipad air 4th gen I’m having trouble with the swipe up function (that replaces the home button) on iPad Air 4th gen. Every time I try to use the swipe up function it takes at least 3, but more like 5-7 tries to get it to work. It's frustrating for normal use, but especially frustrating to me because I often use an art app and all those extra swipes draw lines on my work and I have to undo them all, then zoom way out so the working field is far away from that tricky bottom bar and try again (otherwise I'll have to open it back up and fix the erroneous lines by hand because the undo button doesn't work after minimizing the app >:( ). Also whenever I do it on a screen with the keyboard, it types a bunch of letters I didn’t intend. Arg! I really wish there was a dang home button but since that isn't really an option, I hope you all have some technical advice for using it more easily. Maybe settings can be adjusted that I don’t know about or something? If not, I’ll want to actually contact apple support and ask them to strongly consider making a software update to the iPad Air (4th gen) to improve the ease with which the swipe up function works. Can anyone tell me the most efficient/effective way for submitting this kind of feedback to apple?
