Can't write on iPad Pro with Apple Pencil

Every time i try to write on my l Pad Pro with my Apple Pencil it converts it to type. If you switch it as it tells you, it stops the pencil from writing at all.

Hi genesanderson, it is likely you have 'Scribble' activated which converts writing to type. If you Scribble I think that will solve your issue. The following link explains it all and how to turn Scribble off.

Stop converting your handwriting to text

Go to Settings > Apple Pencil, then turn off Scribble.
