Apple Pencil for iPad 12.6 - Can I disengage the tap feature? The tap feature on the iPad pencil drives me crazy! I use the pencil every time I use my iPad to take notes in medical school and if you don’t hold it without touching the tap feature on the flat part of the pencil, it constantly changes to the eraser and then I have to constantly manually tap the tip of the pencil back to the former tool. I would like to place it into a manual mode, to where I choose to change the tool in use by physically tapping the tool bar with the tip of the pencil! I paid a lot for the pencil and some classmates have purchased off brand pencils that have a physical switch on the side to activate or inactivate the pencil. I don’t want to spend more money on a product that should work the way I need it to. Anyone have a solution??

Trying to set up squeeze and double tap but its not saving the settings As you can see in the photo I have selected the actions I want the squeeze and double tap to do but when I go back to Apple Pencil it still shows them as off and so they aren't working. Am I missing something, theres no save or done button so im not sure what else to do to make them work. It says my software is unto date iPadOS 17.5.1 and I have tried turning the iPad on and off it doesn't make a difference sadly. TIA

No double tap option I bought a (legit) second hand 2nd gen pencil and it works except there's no option in settings to enable double tap. I've restarted my iPad (4th gen ipad air) and it is up to date. How can I enable double tap? I've attached a screenshot of my Apple Pencil settings page
