As a graphic designer this is the main tool that destroys the iPad experience. Not being able to do create common design esthetics in today’s style and trend.

Being able to envelope distort with shapes and text.

oh.. I am sorry for that my mistake..

Ah, got it now. You filed this request in the Desktop branch, not the iPad one. I am merging this with the existing one on the topic. Thanks!

yes but this is AI on computer.. I wanted to know it this will be ad on the ipad application. thanks

Sara, the video though gives a clear method how to do it, using Envelope Distort, both with presets and meshes, made from custom shapes... What is you request then, if this is something we can already do?

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. I meant the possibility of distorting or squeezing the text (because, as of now, I can do it manually by selecting the points, but it’s impossible to do for large texts) or the possibility of serving the text in a specific shape. Below, I’m attaching some links

thanks in advance

Sara, can you please share some images to show what you mean exactly?
There are several things that can match your description and I want to be sure I’m getting the right one.

Can you Please add the feature to stretch the text or add it into shape? It would be amazing! Thanks

hey guys, just in case you have not noticed it, Adobe no longer updates illustrator on iPad. as you probably know for at least the last 2 years nothing changed on illustrator for iPad, unfortunately and sadly Adobe has 'other' priorities as the world evolves into AI.

A long time ago I decided to try affinity, after being frustrated with nothing going on with ipad at the very expensive Adobe subscription cost, and after a year now I cannot be happier. the affinity team constantly releases new features and updates based on our feedback. there is no 'subscriptions' and you can get the entire suite for one of approx $180 or so (ipad and desktop) or a ridiculously cheap designer cost for ipad if that is all you need. I think affinity also launched a special 6 months promotion all free for people to get used to affinity specially those coming from adobe.

affinity has tons of really amazing tutorials and an awesome community so getting used to affinity is just a matter of understanding a different way of using layers and masks, which apply mostly to affinity photo (photoshop equivalent). moving from illustrator ipad to affinity designer either desktop or ipad takes 30 minutes. if you need pro vector tool on ipad to create pro artwork, you'd better reconsider illustrator on ipad; it is a dead end road. all the best

I have Waited years to have features added that the competitors have always had available. I've used Illustrator since the beginning and Photoshop since version 3. When I saw they were going to support the iPad I upgraded to an iPad Pro and jumped onto the beta programs to help with my input. Here we are years later with...well not even mediocher results. The hope was to go into a clients office with an iPad and offer quick results or options. Never happened. So many other programs available that have these features already. So what's up with Adobe????? Sooo frustrating.

Absolutely need this feature for those of us designing solely from the iPad, paying for AI services. Critical.

I purchased an ipad pro with the main purpose of designing logos and labels, I would not have purchased illustrator if I had known these features are missing. I will have to figure out another program and ditch illustrator, which is shocking to me.

Currently only use my iPad and need these features available to me especially if I am paying to use this service

Would help to be able to distort, skew and warp items, type specifically.

Why is this idea 3 years old and still hasn’t been implemented? It’s the one feature I badly need on my iPad as it’s where I prefer to work. It would streamline workflow significantly.

Why is it not on ipad?

Wrap text to a shape feature needed in illustrator iPad app.

This is the biggest feature in the app that’s missing. WE ALL NEED THIS. This feature alone can kill the competition.
