I’d love image trace and the ability to warp text
I don’t use a desktop only my iPad so I can create on the go. In my opinion there’s no reason to pay for illustrator on my iPad when it doesn’t have key features like the ability to warp text and image trace.

“Embed All” button when embedding links.
Sometimes i work with files that have a lot of links! Then when I send that file to the factory I ha e to embed all those links. To embed all the links takes what feels like forever!
If there was a “Embed All” button it would save so much time! 🙂3 votes -
How to change ppi?

Processor usage indicator
I often struggle with not knowing if nothing is happening because what I am trying to do is not supported, or if nothing is happening because the M 1 processor is just busy doing the calculations needed to execute my command.
As illustrator is rather processor consuming, it is often the latter, but I never know for sure until waiting time is over, or until I have given up hope and jumped to some other function. Some kind of “the iPad processor is busy calculating your request, please hold”-indicator would be extremely helpful thank you.1 vote -

Re-draw line in the pencil tool, like in desktop
In the desktop when you draw with the pencil over existing line it allow you to re-draw fro. That section on. I was really surprised this ability isn’t available in the first version- seems like a must for the iPad, and a big differentiator from procreate and raster tools

Pencil Doppeltippen „Rückgängig“
Es wäre toll, wenn ich auf dem iPad durch Doppeltippen des Apple Pen 2 den zuletzt gesetzten Strich rückgängig machen könnte.

Move the undo button from near split screen button
Move the undo and redo buttons when holding the iPad in portrait mode. Currently on the iPad mini (2021) the split screen 3 dots are overlapping the undo button. Which means I either have to turn my iPad to landscape or use the Apple Pencil and be very precise to click the left most part of the undo button in order for it to undo

Drag layer on to another to create clipping mask
Having used Affinity designer for a while I am blown away by the whole UI. It makes using illustrator a chore in comparison but I need to have After effects compatibility. A stand out feature is being able to drag a layer on top of another to create a clipping mask. It also doesn’t delete the mask layer so no need to duplicate it first if you want to keep the mask source. It is a much better solution than Adobe and should be added to desktop and iPad!

Perspective assistance grid from Adobe Draw
In previous app Adobe Draw had most unique feature of perspective grid which also allowed us to draw circles in perspective view with super ease, it was helpful for more complex geometric design and we were able to faster draw with free hand, I request to Adobe Team please re-introduce this feature in Illustrator.

Need to add the Area Type Tool
I’d love to have the area type tool and other type functions from the desktop version added to the iPads version. I do a lot of work with a placed photo and type that flows around it. On the iPad I have to make multiple text containers instead of a vector shape for the text to flow within.

'remember last stroke' and 'new art has basic appearance'
Adobe you really should and need to bring some of the finer settings across from the desktop if you are serious about these being PRODUCTIVE tools and not just permanent pre-release beta tests rented under the subscription narrative.
No-one wants to move BACKWARDS either feature OR PRODUCTIVE-wise.
Desktop Illustrator has a SIMPLE setting to either REMEMBER the last selected stroke setting OR allows for 'new art has basic appearance' which could easily be implemented on the ipad version with a check-box in a preference setting.
Without this simple setting my productivity is completely broken and now far more convoluted requiring…

“Actual Size”
It would be really useful for me to be able to set the viewing percentsge to “actual size”. Something Apple’s Pages on iPad already does.
100% zoom is actually much smaller than real print size. What I end up doing is creating a 1cm square in Illustrator and aligning it with a physical ruler to get actual size.
