Procreate lag with M4 ipad pro 13 and pencil pro

I was having an issue with the pencil pro in procreate lagging when drawing on my IPad Pro M4.

I don’t know specifically why but turning off the Zoom function in the accessibility settings has resolved it.

I have the same issue, which is upsetting, as I got the iPad exclusively for digital art. The lag occurs for me in Procreate and Adobe Fresco. And, often during a drawing, the pencil stops working as a brush altogether, making no marks. After a while, it works again.

I took the M4 iPad Pro to the Apple Store and they tried it with one of their pencils. Same issues. So they concluded it was the iPad, not the Apple Pencil Pro. The gave me a replacement iPad. I just finished setting it up, and it too has the pencil lag.

Turning off the Accessibility > Zoom worked.

i was going crazy and thought my iPad or Apple Pencil Pro had issues.

Thanks for the tip!

Same problem here, tried the deactivating the zoom but didn’t work. Apparently this is only affecting my Adobe Apps and Procreate but still very annoying, specially for my everyday creative work. I hope we get an update regarding this issue.

I mean it’s a pro product!

My Apple Pencil pro is lagging on everything… and it’s getting progressively worse, been through everything with apple support and there’s a replacement on the way, I think there might be an issue with the pencil’s software lagging on the Bluetooth connection

Just got a replacement pencil pro… same issues, heading to the Apple Store Thursday, already know replacing the IPad M4 isn’t going to solve the issues either since some people already went through that ‘solution’ as well.

I think Apple has a problem with these new IPad Pro’s, not a happy camper.

Ps closing ‘zoom’ in accessibility made the IPad even lag while using my finger, turning it back on made the whole IPad go crazy, tired of rebooting

I don't use Procreate - I use GoodNotes and for other markups I use the PDF viewer built into Files App. Both apps work fine for a while, then both exhibit MASSIVE lagging when using the Pencil Pro now. I've had to resort to ~daily rebooting the iPad Pro (13") to fix the lagging when it reoccurs. I had previously enabled the zoom functionality, but when I disabled it the problem remains. I've rebooted again and let's see if the lag stays gone.

I am having the same issue in Procreate and in pretty much every app that uses the Pencil Pro. I have the M4 13 inch with Nano screen. Today is day 14 and am debating returning for a standard screen to see if that helps, but from what I am seeing this is an M4 13 inch problem in general. Anyone find a solution yet? 6/19/24

Same problems. Also can’t undo/redo in procreate app with pencil pro or finger.

pencil erases despite drawing button highlighted

canvass freezes then can re-size left hand side but not right side

used to be able to use pencil/hand during same session now it’s intermittent

Really disappointed so went back to my first Apple Pencil as didn’t require set up and works straight away…….but it didn’t work at all

I get that there are teathing troubles but showing how awesome these tools are during your conference I can’t help feeling I’ve been had

I purchased anew iPad Pro 11” with Apple Pencil pro. Same problem with the pencil. Very laggy and it’s not ProCreate, it is horrible on any app

Ensure that you have updated your new iPad Pro M4 to iPadOS 17.5.

Consider that any Apps that may have been briefly showcased during Apple's recent event will have been using beta software - either by iPadOS, App, or both - and will have been carefully "staged" for the presentation.

Given that many Developers will not yet have had opportunity to test their Apps with the new iPad hardware and updated version of iPadOS, you might reasonably anticipate that many Apps will not yet be optimised for the new models of iPad.

Deleting an App will also delete the associated App data. By contrast, offloading an App will remove the App, but will instead preserve the App data on the device.

I have a new M4 iPad Pro (13”) with the new Pencil.

I have followed the advice of some of the other posters and turned off the Accessibility Zoom function, which remedied the pencil lag that was occurring. How strange.

But if I scribble fast with the Pencil in Procreate, at some point (usually quite quickly) the whole system becomes jerky and unresponsive, until I force quit Procreate.

Something quite wrong is happening here.
