laggy apple pencil After using my Apple Pencil for elongated time, my writing will lag and seem off/glitchy compared to previous strokes in my notes. I have the M4 chip in the newest iPad Pro as well as the newest Apple Pencil. Ai have had my iPad for about 4 months. This shouldn’t be an issue this early into its life. Does anyone relate?

ipados17 pencil is skipping on notes Hi, so when I go to write on an existing Apple Note with my pencil the written line/word jumps down a few millimetres. It actually makes it impossible to write. However, if I start a new Note there is no problem. My pencil works correctly on other non-Apple note programs. Tried a hard reset. Any help appreciated - thanks.

how to fix lagging and delay drawing of apple pencil second generation I experience this when I'm on my note taking app. My pencil performance is a bit odd, when I stroke the pen in a straight line, it creates a broken line instead of a straight line. Further, the pencil responsiveness is quite delay, its having a hard time chasing the actual stroke of my pen on hand. Note that hand drawing on the note taking apps have no issue all over the screen. Please anyone can help me regarding this issue? Any recommendations and suggestions? I'm feel frustrated and annoyed every time I'm using my pen to take down notes.

Could be the nib. Try a different one. It's happened to me before. Also, sometimes third party nibs don't work all that well. If you have another Apple nib try it. Hope that helps.
