iPadOS 27.2: Siri icon interferes with Apple Notes lasso tool

iPadOS 27.2: New Siri feature interfering with Apple Notes lasso tool. Any solutions?


Since updating to iPadOS 27.2, I've been experiencing a frustrating issue with Apple Notes when editing handwritten content using Apple Pencil. Whenever I select handwriting using the lasso tool, the newly introduced Siri icon appears above the selection and seems to interfere with the existing editing controls.

As a result:

  1. Tapping the traditional editing options, including Delete, causes the selection to disappear instead of performing the action.
  2. Attempting to move selected handwriting also deselects it.
  3. Scratch to Delete is similarly affected.


Has anyone else experienced this since iPadOS 27.2 and is there a workaround?

You might be best advised to seek assistance directly from from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively, you can initiate and manage your support cases from Apple devices using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

If you have identified a repeatable issue, you should submit a bug report to Apple using Apple's Product Feedback portal. For iPad and iPadOS:

Feedback - iPad - Apple


When submitting your bug report, ensure that you include details of both your iPad and installed version of iPadOS within the body of your report. Don't rely upon the pick-list - as this often lags behind the current version.
