Hi there, DJ3508!


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! That's an excellent question you have about using Scribble on your iPad mini. Check out this article to Enter text with Scribble on iPad. Per the article, the iPad mini (4th generation) is not supported for Scribble.


"Enter text with Scribble on iPad

On supported iPad models, you can use Apple Pencil (available separately) and Scribble to enter text. Without opening or using the onscreen keyboard, you can quickly reply to a message, jot down a reminder, and more. Scribble converts your handwriting to text directly on your iPad, so your writing stays private."


Thanks again for the question and have a great day!
