To be honest, I haven’t tested the Pencil that much in Chrome for iPad in 13.5. I plan to do so in the days ahead. To clarify (and I’ll update the post as well) that the Pencil doesn’t really “work” in terms of being able to erase, change brush strokes and colors. What I really meant was that the pencil could be used as an input device, specifically for using Figma’s Pencil and Pen tools. It also works similar to a mouse so you can draw shapes and select items by tapping on screen. And to be clear, this works on Chrome for iPad, but not on Safari at this time.

For what it’s worth, keep an eye on Figurative. I believe that a future version will make Figma more usable on iPad, including using it with the Apple Pencil.
