Apple Pencil Pro + Left Hand Usage Not Working As Expected

I also filed a bug report. Considering only 10% of the world is left handed, I am assuming that there is not much info on this. I was only able to find the below referenced forum from last July, 2024. Still not fixed.


When using the "Tool Palette" feature via squeeze or double tap, the color pallet and other options are not able to be clicked. If I switch to right handed there is no issue, only left handed (which I am).


This issue is reproduceable on my iPad Mini 7 256gb WiFi + Cellular with iOS 18.3.1, and also on my iPad Pro 13 m4 1TB WiFi only.


I have been trying to figure out for the last 2 months why this is happening and only stumbled upon this thread which confirmed my issue. As a left handed person, I would never even think to switch to my right hand to diagnose this issue. Please fix it, it really negatively effects my workflow.

Here is the youtube video from that forum, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12H3clNkxf8. This is the same exact issue I am having.
