Unable to Paste Images in Handwriting Section of Apple Notes (iPadOS 18)

Since updating to iPadOS 18, I’ve encountered an issue when handwriting notes in Apple Notes. Previously, I was able to paste images into the handwriting section, but now no paste option appears when I tap to insert an image. Instead, I only see "Select All" and "Insert Space" as available options.


Has anyone else experienced this issue, and is there a solution or workaround?

Thanks!

iPad mini 6, iPadOS 18

I have the same issue! I called customer support, they told me that they would relay the issue to the engineering team so they can potentially fix the issue in the next software update. I've also submitted a bug report, to make sure it's known! It'd be great if anyone else affected by this issue could report it, so there is a greater chance of it being fixed soon!

Yes, this seems to be a common issue after the recent iPadOS 18 update. A few users have reported similar problems with pasting images into handwritten notes. One potential workaround is to paste images into the text section and then move them around as needed, but I understand that's not always ideal.
