The issue of blue dots appearing under all types of handwritten text and drawings when using an Apple Pencil extends beyond the notes app; it is system-wide.
When annotating PDFs, presentations, screenshots, or even when writing my signature iPadOS starts autocorrecting, assuming I’m writing a word. Suggested words are often nonsensical—for example, “afternoon” may be changed to “alj 7momn”. When drawing a line or underlining text blue dots can appear because Apple somehow interprets a drawing as a word. It’s utterly ridiculous.
These blue dots appearing across presentations and during online meetings when sharing my screen are highly unprofessional. I purchased an Apple Pencil Pro and can no longer use it effectively.
Despite submitting feedback via Apple’s official website for eight months, this bug remains unaddressed.
Quite a few posts by different authors in this thread have been removed by moderators. This doesn’t seem an appropriate way to handle paying customers.
I strongly recommend contacting Apple and requesting to speak with a senior advisor to report this issue. It’s worth mentioning that the bug persists in the latest iPadOS, introduced at the recent Apple Worldwide Developers Conference. Resetting an iPad does not resolve the problem. Every iPad in every Apple Store exhibits this issue.
