To set double-tap on the Apple Pencil to undo, you'll need to go into your iPad's settings and customize the double-tap action within the Apple Pencil settings. This feature is available on Apple Pencil (2nd generation) and Apple Pencil (Pro) models. 


  1. Open Settings: Go to the Settings app on your iPad. 
  2. Navigate to Apple Pencil: Scroll down and tap on "Apple Pencil". 
  3. Customize Double Tap: You'll find options to customize the double-tap action, including the ability to switch between tools, show the color palette, or enable a quick menu. 
  4. Choose "Undo": If you want the double-tap to undo, you'll likely need to choose the option to switch between your current tool and the eraser. This is a common setting to allow for quick erasing and undoing actions. 
  5. Enable Accessibility Settings (if needed): You can also adjust the firmness of the double tap and squeeze in the accessibility settings
