Change Mark Up Pen/Ink Width

I just got my post deleted because supposedly I was ranting???? I didn't rant at all! I said:"I've been using my Apple Pen to mark up PDF's emailed to me since I got my iPad and it's been working great. All of a sudden yesterday it started to mark up in a really thick line. Is there some setting I inadvertently switched?? how do I get back to the thin ink line?" I went on to say that the texture of pencil line does not work for me.


This feature was one of the primary reasons I bought my iPad, so I really need to get it back to working!! I better hit send now before I rant about being accused of ranting when I asked a very specific question on a very specific topic!

iPad Pro Wi-Fi, iOS 11.4.1

I am using the "mark up" option straight from apple Mail. Like I said, I've been using this in this manner since I got my iPad and it's been great. I can show you dozens of things I've marked up. But yesterday, the line weight/width changed to VERY thick, on it's own as far I know. So am wondering if there is some system setting, or have I perhaps damaged my pen in some way (it has it's own holder, so I doubt this) but...I can't figure out why it would just stop working the way it was.

Does it do this in every application? Or only in Mail? Some things to try: force quite Mail but double tapping the Home button then flicking the Mail window up. Sometimes a simple restart of the device will solve the issue.


There really aren't any settings for the Pencil itself. I'll see if I can check it out on mine when I get home.

Hi, ms.L!


I did not see any question in the other post. Just you "complaining" as some people may call it?


Once again, we cannot do anything about that.

The pen is designed however it is designed.

I apologize for making you angry by removing your other post. But if your going to be usig apple community there is something you should know: it happens. Like a lot.


Anyway, as I said before, give Apple feedback.

I take full responsibility for your post being taken down, and again, I apologize. The way I read it, I saw ranting.

I am sorry 🙂


PS: you can change the width of the pen depending on if whatever the app you are using with the pen allows it.
