Scribble option disappeared? - here's a fix.

In my case, the scribble option disappeared when I added Gboard to my iPad and deleted the default apple keyboard. This could be your case too. Just don't delete the keyboard that comes with iPadOS & Scribble should work fine. In case you have deleted it, you can easily restore it back by: Settings > General > keyboard> keyboards> add new keyboard

iPad, iPadOS 16

Missing Scribble Toolbar Hi! I just updated to iOS 16 and I suddenly lost my Scribble toolbar (the little Apple pencil icon that shows tools such as space down and pencil keyboard) which I specifically use in the GoodNotes app. Has anyone experienced this? And does anybody know how to put it back? My scribble is working properly, it's just that the toolbar is missing. Thanks!

iPad full sized keyboard with scribble enabled when using my ipad with ipencil, i would like to use the full-size keyboard instead of the floating one. I do not want to disable scribble, I would like to use scribble and have access to the large keyboard. Is this possible?

Scribble not working right with Pages after update I recently updated my iPadOS to 17.4.1 and my Pages app to version 14. I am a book editor and use this app often with my Apple Pencil to edit documents, using Scribble to delete text and type comments quickly with the swipe function. Before the update, the small keyboard would stay open, making it easy for me to tap a spot on the document and quickly add a comma or delete an extra character, but now the keyboard disappears after each keystroke and I have to reopen it over and over again. This is not convenient at all, but I can't figure out how to make it stay up on the screen. Additionally, when I try to use the swipe function to replace a word, it freezes and I have to restart the program. I've tried reinstalling, restarting my iPad, disconnecting my Bluetooth and turning it back on, but nothing seems to work. This has worked fine for me for months and I don't understand why this would suddenly change—can I fix it somehow? Thank you!
