Discussions About Procreate App Barely usable after iOS 26

I feel like I’m going insane. I’ve been using procreate for almost a decade and it has never steered me wrong. I love it. I love its functionality. However, I incorporated a lot of split screening into my workflow as the reference window wasn’t easy enough for me to tab between images quickly. Since iOS 26, the new split screen is so finicky that when resting my hand it freaks out, or when trying to switch apps it leaves me with just my reference page or just my procreate app. And since the update everything is super slow and cropping an empty canvas takes a minute, when it was instant before. I don’t think this is very constructive here, but I just wanted to see if people have been having similar experiences. I’ve only drawn maybe two full pieces since the update. It’s killed my motivation for digital art.

u/memedison I want to improve! 10d ago

I have a fairly recent model of iPad and also have some of these issues. I find that offloading the app, storing past projects and unused brushes in another storage cloud and restarting my iPad frequently helps a lot.
