Hello
I would suggest a feature for the Apple Pencil
When I draw on the desktop app I usually have the brush size cursor following my movement.
I know apple pencil is an active pencil and not EMR, so I don't know how it works.
Anyway I suggest making a brush hover for the apple pencil with the actual brush size
you can create a menu in the preferences panel with a button toggle to switch it off or on

    As of late 2025, this feature is still not supported! 🙎

    Just got the new iPad to discover that photoshop still doesn't support this, don't let your users ditch the mobile app in favor of procreate or other apps that have already implemented this.

      Come on Adobe let's see the pen hover on the app. Quick like a bunny.

        Hello, surely this has to be implemented now ? Adobe are so out of touch, I need to look for a good alternative, they want me to pay monthly and be tied into 12 months lol yeah ok

            Still no update on this adobe? Seems like a basic need for most people using PS!

              Yes this!  It is very frustrating not being able to see the cursor, making for a much slower workflow and lower detail quality

                  Yes this is really needed, I saw that Adobe Fresco has brush preview feature so it should be possible for photoshop as well.

                    Would be great to see on iPad Pro size and shape of the brush at all times like on desktop version.
