Recent FigJam update made handwriting unusable on iPad

Since a very recent update, I find handwriting to be totally terrible in FigJam for iPad.

Untill a few days ago, handwriting was completely fine and I was using it alot to wireframe and draw up quick user flows.

Since very recently, the correction FigJam applies on drawings with my Apple Pencil make it so my handwriting is not readably anymore, totally rendering FigJam useless for what I use it most.

Has anyone else encountered this? I can’t find any settings controlling the amount of smoothing/correction done?

Really sad to see this loss in functionality!

        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.)
