iPad Pro How could I improve palm rejection on iPad?

…Without wearing a glove, of course.


Despite being an iPad user since 2018 (yeah, the 2018 iPad Pro redesign really captivated me), I’ve never had an Apple Pencil before, or any stylus for that matter.

Now, I recently purchased an Apple Pencil 2, and it is useful (although it has its flaws), but I realized Palm Rejection sometimes doesn’t work as quickly as needed, ending up in accidental touches that causes unwanted zoom-in/out and scrolling.

So, I’ve observed that palm rejection, just like Hover, only activates when the stylus is really near the screen. Do you approach your hand with the stylus tip closer to the display to enable palm rejection before your palm touches the screen? Any other tip or advice? Thank you

I whish there was a setting to tune this sensitivity…

I'm not sure that the following advice will address your concerns directly, but I have found that it is very, very, very important what power supply you have attached to the iPad while trying to use any stylus.

I learned this the hard way when I had a brand new iPad that I was keeping plugged into an offbrand multiple USB outlet power supply. The stylus which start producing random horizontal or vertical lines as well as other dots. It looked like I was using a leaky fountain pen.

After multiple calls to Apple, visits to the Apple Store that I could not re-create in front of them (because of course, it wasn't plugged into the power supply) and even getting the thing replaced by Apple, I finally narrowed it down to the power supply. Once I plugged it into an Apple power supply, I never had an issue.

Thank you pal, but my palm rejection failures occur when the iPad is unplugged. I have never used the Apple Pencil with the iPad plugged in. Also I always use Apple official chargers.

When the iPad recognizes the Apple Pencil (with the Hover function), it improves the palm rejection? It blocks the touch input? Btw, which apps are giving you problems?

Test with other apps too because some apps just have lousy palm rejection.
