Handwriting has its own tools now, and the app gets out of the way while you write. • Pen, pencil, highlighter, eraser, and lasso, in a strip beside the page • Four ink colours, highlighter shades that stay readable over your writing, and a custom picker • Four widths for every tool — the eraser too • Drag the strip to whichever side suits your hand; it stays there • Squeeze an Apple Pencil Pro to bring the tools up under the nib, and again to put them away • Double-tap swaps the eraser in and out, or returns to your last tool • The + button gathers photo library, camera, placeholder, and writing prompt • Begin a stroke and the toolbar fades out, leaving the page. It's back when you pause, tap, or squeeze — and undo stays put throughout • Prefer everything on screen? Turn off Distraction-free writing in Settings • The system picker's other inks — monoline, fountain pen, watercolour, crayon — aren't in the new palette. Anything you've drawn with them is unchanged; you just can't pick them for new writing
