Outlining & Manipulating font with Pencil Tool on Ipad

Question

Hello! I've been desinging with Illustrator for a while now but just recently got an Ipad to use it on as well. I'm a graphic and brand designer so I frequently use AI to design logos and manipulate fonts & texts.

On the desktop, it is simple, select your text, outline, and then I can begin using the pencil tool to add/remove things from the font and customize it to my hearts content!

On Ipad... I cannot seem to figure this out and the tutorials I search for are not shedding any light! I've gotten as far as outlining the text, but using the pencil tool just creates paths/marks OVER the text, rather than combining to create a new path with the text entirely.

Does anyone have any experience?
