Same here, I can totally relate to that disastrous experience! I’ve been using FigJam for classroom whiteboarding, but this recent update with the auto handwriting enhancement/correction is totally messing up my handwritten notes. Well, I get that this new feature might be helpful in certain situations, but it’s just not working for me at all! Hope they consider rolling it back or at least give us an option to turn it off and go back to the way things were before. Fingers crossed!

Hey All, thanks for flagging this!

We’ve passed this onto our FigJam team to investigate and work on a fix! We’ll let you know once we get an update.

Yes, the auto-draw feature was fine for drawings but since the last update, it is applying autodraw to handwriting as well. FigJam brainstorming has become completely useless for me and my teammates since autodraw makes the handwriting illegible.

@dvaliao Thanks for the reply! Looking forward to a fix soon!

Same here, I’m really stuck due to this, looking forward to a solution.

Also experiencing this, it’s made it really hard to use as a whiteboard.

Also experiencing this. Can’t even draw diagrams because the lines are getting “corrected” extremely frustrating. 😕

This is the same issue for me using a Wacom tablet on my desktop PC. It is correcting so hard that I cannot read any word that I am writing.

Also having this problem with a Wacom tablet on desktop. Very difficult to use now, is it possible to turn the corrections off?

I have exactly the same problem… it is horrible I can’t sketch and wireframe on FigJam because of that… Please correct it fast or at least let us disable it !!

Figma team - any updates here?

Hey All, thanks for following up!

Our team is already working on getting the recent update that caused this reverted - stay tuned!

Same here. I’ve been using google jamboard and had to switch to Figma. It’s next to impossible o use autocorrect because it keeps on messing us up. Please Figma team, remove the autocorrect feature. At this point FigJam is practically useless with my graphics tablet or any other device I’ve tried writing on it with.

I recently started using FigJam as a replacement for Jamboard. I was excited and enjoying the new possibilities and features until I started presenting in class and realized that my handwriting was being smoothed to the point that I literally couldn’t write things for my students and have to resort to typing things out. HORRIBLE experience. I REALLY hope that this can somehow get fixed because I was looking forward to using it. (Using a Google Pixelbook and Wacom tablet for writing.)
