After updating my iPad Air 5 to the latest iPadOS 26, the palm rejection is broken. When I try to write something(with my palm on the screen), it draws some random horizontal/vertical lines. Before, there was no problem like this, but now I can only write with my hand lifted, so the only thing that will have contact with the screen is my Apple Pencil. Do you have any solutions for this problem?

Actually, I just tried taking the pencil tip off and screwing it back on. So far that seems to have resolved the issue. I've only tested it for 5 minutes since, but you might want to give it a try and see if that solves it for you. Still not sure why it would only happen after this latest update though. If it happens again I'll update.
I'm having the same issue with my 4th generation 12.9 inch ipad pro. For me, it seems to happen when applying pressure and drawing slowly, and then lightening the pressure as I'm drawing the line. Tried in both Procreate and Clip Studio Paint, and this seems to happen even when I have a glove on. Never had this issue before the update. I illustrate professionally, and this is really getting in the way of getting any work done.
