Procreate lag with M4 ipad pro 13 and pencil pro

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.

I have exactly the same problem but with the new Ipad air and apple pencil pro. I tried forgetting device, turn off and on Ipad, delete and install procreate and it still has this lag and it is only on Procreate, while I am editing files everything is working just fine. I am just returning form the Apple reseller and they told me that the issue is on the procreate side and I don’t know what to think about all of this. A bit frustrated that I paid a quite amount for having such issue…

Oh ok. I personally don’t need it. I don’t have the issues mentioned here with my Pencil Pro so I didn't realize a solution was already provided.

Just realized you were referring to turning off Zoom in Accessibility under settings

I’m having the same issue, but I just discovered that the pencil only lags when the iPad is unplugged – even if the battery is at 100%. When I plug it back in, the pencil works as expected. (Turning off Zoom didn’t work for me.) Any fix for this?

I also have this problem. I tried all the fixes on this thread and none of it worked. I realized that I initially connected my pencil pro to my iPad Air through the thin plastic of the top edge of my aftermarket case. I tried connecting to my pencil to my iPad without the case and it worked.

Same thing over here but its on EVERY app and progressively gotten worse. Cant use it for more than 10(used to be 20)minutes on the newest ipad air. Turning off zoom didnt help at all. Also when I try to do zigzags sometimes I just get straight lines, or when I leave it on the screen for .5 seconds I get thousands of random little lines in that spot which are very annoying.

I think there is a problem with the Apple Pencil Pro.

It has worked perfectly for me so far. I have had the iPad for a month. Out of the blue it no longer works. This morning everything was fine. If I make quick strokes, nothing happens, or if I make short quick strokes. I tried that with the 6B pen, for example. Even

If I do the same thing with my fingernail, it works perfectly.

So there must be an error in the communication between the Apple Pro pen and the iPad.

What I don't understand is why this is suddenly happening.

You can't really draw properly anymore, and that's exactly why I bought the iPad.

And what's really funny is that while I'm writing this and have looked again at how strong the delay is, it's working correctly again. WTF!?

I thought I only had this issue on Procreate, but after trying Fresco and even the pencil on Apple Notes i have the same problem.

The zoom feature others are finding to fix problem did not work for me. A reboot of my iPad Pro M4 (with Apple Pencil Pro) will fix problem for a half hour or so until it goes back to original problem. I look forward to an update with fix for this problem.

FYI - My iPad has latest software.

Hi. Glad to see it's not just me having this problem. Recently I've had dreams start lagging too. The fix for me was not a fun one and it didn't last forever.

I had to reset all my OS settings. That did work for a while but the issue is back after a few months. I'm thinking to do it again but that forgets everything and figuring out why my iPad isn't reacting how I want it too because there was some setting I needed to re-customize is really annoying. Especially since it takes off all ApplePay cards but it did work for a while. I've been trying to pay Attention to if something changed after I turned on a particular setting, but I haven’t been able to figure it out.

also, I actually do use Zoom on the regular and after resetting the settings and enabling Zoom, it was fine. I think Zoom is part of the problem, but not the whole thing.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I turned off zoom and the lag vanished! That's so random, I never would have figured it out.

Is your issue solved yet?

Just received a replacement pencil, same issues, heading to the Apple Store come Thursday but apparently not even replacing the IPad is going to solve the lagging issues.

This isn’t about apps, my pencil lags everywhere even on the Home Screen and scrolling in browsers, received a replacement pencil; same issues
