Apple Pencil Pro Has A "BIG" Problem on iPad Pro M4!!! 

Procreate works fine with my Apple Pencil Pro. The squeeze gesture does not work but they did state in their most recent update on the App Store it was coming soon. I'll add that I wish this would have been available from the start.

Maybe Procreate needs to be updated?

Problem may come from Procreate recognizing only one one pen while you have 2 connected. Have you tried erasing the Crayon from the iPad ? Since the Pencil Pro works everywhere but in Procreate, the problem stems from Procreate. Not the iPad nor the Pencil Pro.

I am facing kind of same problem too. In my case pressure sensitivity not working in apple pencil

I've got the 13 inch M2 air and pencil pro and it does draw, just lags behind the pencil a few seconds in drawing, has messed up pressure sensitivity, and wont draw for a stroke less than three inches long in physical space. Works fine with my finger and stuff, just the pencil pro, and just procreate, any other apps i've tested work. Procreate is working on an update for full support but it feels like they shouldn't be having issues with it doing what previous pencils could do already, and yet I've seen a lot of people have either the issue I'm having or yours of not drawing at all.

I just started getting a very similar issue 😢 I got it yesterday and set it all up and everything worked great. Then this afternoon it started to seriously lag. It is pretty much unusable. This is unacceptable as I got the thing for professional art work 😡

I had the exact same issue. New pencil pro on new M4 iPad Pro was basically unusable. As one commenter mentioned I completely shut off my iPad and restarted and that seemed to fix the issues. But I’m still wondering where is the calligraphy brush in Freeform and notes? Did apple get rid of those brushes?

Average Tech Guy! Do you have Zoom turned on in the settings? I had it on on my iPad Pro and turning it off fixed the issues I was having. I emailed Procreate about it and they know about the issue affecting both Dreams and normal Procreate.

I am having issues with my M4 iPad Pro and pencil pro with procreate as well, my issue is lag related in procreate where other apps work fine. Basically I can draw a circle in procreate and it doesn’t show up until after I have completed the circle.

My Ipad 11 pro will not even recognized the Apple Pencil

Had mine for a week and it was working fine and now it stopped working in procreate????

I’m having the same issue but in Goodnotes. When writing smaller words, it glitches.

So I’m not the only one! Thank you for making this video. I thought it was going nuts and the tech guys thought it was my problem. Because I don’t have a store anywhere local to me. I had to order both the air and the pro to decide which one I wanted to use. It works without a problem on the air. But the pro - still nothing.

Wow found it!!!!!!!I Went back to customized assisted drawing and checked all the boxesssss and it works🎉

Between it being a new device plus random bugs, I don’t think it’s something permanent but you should get a replacement pencil just in case and do software updates as they become available

I was having the same problem and it was driving me nuts. The squeeze feature worked but not the draw feature. I did all the troubleshooting you described and no go. Restarting app/ipad/repairing didn’t work. The , it occurred to me to tighten the tip and that worked! I think somehow the tip easily loses contact. Try to tighten it a little more.

Not having any issues drawing in Procreate myself yet. I got my new iPad Pro and pencil pro but I do have the 11 inch iPad. Not sure that makes a difference or not.

No issues on my side with the M4 13 inch and apple pencil pro. Maybe try to disconnect the other pencil and then restart the app. If not, I would maybe reinstall the app, or be curious of some of your settings.

I just got my iPad Pro M4 11" and Apple Pencil Pro replaced today because of a Procreate issue. The same issue still happens on the new devices as well. I'm thinking it's a Procreate issue, honestly. I know there's an update to make it more compatible, but the update hasn't fixed anything for me.

My Ipad pro 13 M4 and Pencil pro are working fine with Procreate. Hope it's just an update or your device only. xo

I just purchased apple pro 13” and Apple Pencil pro. Had it Saturday, worked for one day and then today whatever brush I chose, whatever colour, I would draw circles today and the colour was white, it wouldn’t take any other colours and suddenly after that, nothing on my canvas, would try circles and would choose circle on menu below where it’s written ellipse circle and the only thing I would see are the dots around the circle to enlarge or make it small. I tried all day to troubleshoot but nothing😢

Tested it on my friends ipad today. It still doesnt work

That happened to me with the old pencil, restarted the iPad fixed for me

This needs more views

I think it’s a problem with the pressure curves in procreate. You need to change your pressure curves to fix it

procreate and pencil work fine on my side, but Procreate needs to be updated for sure. did you check the settings in Procreate (display brush size, etc. ?)

I also have this problem on my iPad Pro M4, I have the same problem with Apple Pencil Typ-C and Photoshop application!

mine it shows the Apple Pencil name when I stick it but it doesnt show the charge percentage, also no haptic

I believe you can feel the reinforcing running down the centre of the iPad 13 pro has this had any effect in using the pencil.

Disconnect the other stylus or contact Procreate support rather than blaming the Pencil Pro, that seems to work fine when not in Procreate.

I have the new M4 ipads the 11 and 13 inch and the pencil pro works perfectly on both ipads using procreate…its probably something with your setup

I have the same problem, I just bought my iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil pro 2 days ago and now I noticed that the pencil is lagging in procrate but not on the notes app…. T^T

Having same issue man!

I just saw a video. The guy had the same problem as you. His Apple pencil was defective. Quite a few people have had this problem. It doesn't work in procreate. You have to go to the Apple store and return it. This happened when the M2 iPad pro came out. Whenever the apple pencil 2 came out, a lot of them were defective.

I had to disconnect Apple Pencil 2 in Bluetooth of iPadOS, in order to use Logitech crayon pen. Maybe you have to disconnect every pen in Bluetooth of iPadOS, restart your iPad, and then attach Apple Pencil Pro, to try again in Procreate

Generation 2 Apple Pencil does hover with the M2 IPad Pro.

i have the same problem on my ipad from 2018.... sometimes this happens... I just close procreate, put the pencil on charge... open procreate and it works again

nah, Hella people are having problems with it in procreate. Mine personally is having a FAT delay problem when drawing but only at the beginning of a stroke. it is unusable. thank you for getting the word out. i was tight after dropping 3k on the set up just to have it not work.

It doesn’t work for me on iPad 11in m2, only certain texture pens in the app work. Been trying all day

My iPad Pro with pencil pro works just fine on procreat 😂

Mine works fine with the same iPad Pro 13” and Pencil Pro. I was scared for a minute

I don’t have this problem with my Pencil Pro in Procreate so it might just be your specific unit

No problem at all with Procreate and the Apple Pencil Pro on my brand new M4 iPad Pro. Must be something specific to your setup.

Here is the tip: restart your ipad and repair them. i've the exact same problem with you. Ipad air m2 and pencil pro. pencil just didn't work on procreate, and other apps just works fine. my finger and 3rd party pen works well in procreate. then i restart and repair them ,it works! it's surely the procreate's problem, but they just deny it.

I have an iPad Pro M4 13 inch and I just purchased Procreate today and the Pencil Pro works fine with it. Maybe your Procreate is not up to date.

Version 5.3.9 of Procreate was released on the 15th of May to provide Apple Pencil Pro support.

The only thing I don’t understand it’s the menu with all the different pencils can’t open it if someone would know I would appreciate😊

Works for me on Ipad Pro 13 inch. Wierd that it doesn't work for you.

I thought I was going nuts too

Mine is doing the same thing

genius bar apple store employee just told me 2 days ago, to wait for an update. Nobody is held accountable for, apple just enjoys the dollars from early adopters and gives a fuck about us.

Procreate, iPad Pro 13”, Apple Pencil Pro all work fine for me. The problem seems to be your setup somehow.

mine one has smae issue.

That’s interesting

Same problem in Finland with me

Video summary: he doesn’t seem to realise Procreate hasn’t updated usage of Apple Pencil pro. You’re welcome.

I reinstalled but it doesn’t fix the real problem

Early adopter’s curse :) It’s going to be ok soon

I’ve a total diff problem with my iPad Pro 13 M4, as soon as the Apple pencil gets near or touches the screen the iPad starts making like a buzzing sound from within, Apple have advised me to take it in to their tech guys, anyone else had this issue

I have the same issue with the same combo. Logitech works Apple Pencil Pro…nope

you need ot wait for a software update mate.

I have the same problem. Worked last night, but not today😡

Procreate have already said their app needs updating. Not a problem with the iPad or Pencil Pro.

That’s crazy. I hope it’s just a software issue.

No problem here with Procreate and the Apple Pencil Pro on my new iPad Pro 11" M4. Weird problem that it works in the other apps on yours and not in Procreate.

Fyi - I also use Procreate. I checked the company and they said they will be updating the program to work with the new Apple pencil pro soon. So that is why it does not work.

The pencil pro is too slippery to hold. The material is too smooth. Its just slips with my grip. Too light as well. The first pencil was perfect. It also drops the pressure sometimes. You'd be drawing and then suddenly it just stops. Then you have to tap and the screen in procreate and it works again. This is on the ipad air 13 inch.

Works on mine. Thanks,

I just tested it on my new 11" M4 Pro and it worked fine for me, not sure why yours wasn't drawing for ya

For someone making tech videos, you should have understood what the issue is here…. You don’t have to be a software developer for that. I do want to suggest you to follow a basic software+hardware course.

Wierd mine works

Hover feature works for all M2 iPads

Doesn't look like a huge problem at all, pretty sure it will be fixed

Mine works

Mine works perfectly
