P: Apple Pencil Lag on iPadOS/mobile

[Chad K]

When using the Apple Pencil 1 on the iPad (6th Gen), there is a slight delay in Photoshop when compared to drawing in the Apple Notes and OneNote apps. It happens more often when the Pencil is titled. Pressure sensitivity is off for both brush settings.

Just want to add I also changed pen tip, but that didn't help either.

Hi All! Thanks for adding the details and your comments. For now, the team is investigating and working on this. 

We'll update this thread if we have a workaround or a fix to announce soon. 

Thanks!

Thanks for letting us know Sameer. Good luck to you and all the team with resolving it. I hope it turns out to be an interesting process for you all. Meanwhile I offre you a virtual box of choclates to  accompany you a long the way.

Awesome, thanks for acknowledging @Sameer K  and to the team for looking at this.

@Sameer K - Looks like the update came out with this specific bug addressed. Already put it through its paces this morning and things seem to be functioning normally. Can't thank you enough. Lots of work to get through and so this is greatly appreciated.

Works perfectly again. Thank you!

@Sameer K 

alas, I am sorry to say that  I still have the same pencil lag problem in Photoshop.

Should I disinstall and reinstall Photoshop? (if I do will I lose all my work?)

I am on IPad Pro 4th gen, using OS 18,3.2 (22D82). Perhaps this is an update which has decided to say goodbye to this version of the IPad?

Yours in suspended animation, but with hope in my heart

P.s. I forgot to add that the version of photoshop I am currently on is 6.0.2 (20250303.609)

Same here, works fine again (using v6.0.3)

Thank you so much for addressing the issue as for the quick fix @Sameer K to the whole team!!

[Juhani27891988biea]

To be exact, there still seems to be a very short delay with Animator Pencil (but not with Hard Round for ex.) which makes me think it might have something to do with pressure sensitivity as the Animator Pencil is more dependent or should I say reliable on that. But I can live with that.

[Martin H P]

@Sameer K

in my case I'm sorry to say that the delay is there on all the pencils and brushes, most notably the hard round (which is the one I use most of the time)

v6.0.3にアップデートしたところ、概ね遅延はなくなりました(アニメーターペンシルでは私の環境でもまだ少し遅延がありますが、概ね問題のない範囲です)。またipad版photoshopで仕事が出来るようになりました。

ご対応くださったスタッフの皆様、ありがとうございます。

@Martin H P - Weird. I'm on the same iPad Pro 4th gen, photoshop has updated to 6.0.3?

[Martin H P]

@orion9282 yes i just realised sececupdated to 6.0.3.   Thanks for the reminder. It is working fine. Manu thanks to Samer and the team

[Martin H P]

@Sameer K

now I can type with both hands to thank you and all the team for fixing this and the Community for showing how things can happen in such a cool calm way. Enjoy your drawing and developing everyone

[Martin H P]

@Sameer K Alas, the pencil lag problem is back. Is it just me? Did I miss an update?

Film showing pencil lag, how black line fragments and the many taps it takes to recover

Yes it has to be the app. 2nd Gen pen. IPad mini. O lynin photoshop. Who is this guy who is trying to defend the app and not admit there is something wrong with PS on the iPad?

Fixed in update
