  1. Restore anchor point long hold to delete anchor points.

    Previously, when performing a long press with the direct select tool on an anchor point, it would delete that anchor point. Using the "delete anchor point" button on the floating menu is now the only option, but the long press method is just simpler and saves a lot of effort. A nice way to restore this option is to have it as a feature that you can turn on/off in prefrences.

  2. Hello, there is a problem in writing in Arabic. Please support the correct writing of the Arabic language in the next update. Thanks

    The letters are written separately from each other, and it is correct in the Arabic language that the letters are written connected to each other

  3. Make Illustrator for iPad and Adobe Library more pattern-friendly

    Editing and scaling patterns on the iPad is nearly impossible. Ist would be great if the options would be similar as in the desktop version, where scaling, editing, changing the colour of patterns etc. is with the swatches easily done.
    Also if patterns could be saved to the adobe library it would simplify the working process immensely.

  5. Touch Modifier to Constrain Handles to 90º or 45º

    It’d shave off a lot of time and make my workflow smoother to be able to use a touch modifier (like what’s currently in the bottom left hand corner) to constrain the handles to perfectly horizontal, vertical, or diagonal angles, much like holding shift would do on the desktop version.

  6. Swipe to select

    Being able to let touch-input (swipes) automatically switch it over to the selection tool, and have the use of the Apple Pencil always change it back to the previous tool.

  8. Stroke opacity on shapes

    Would love to have Stroke opacity setting on shapes, as on desktop Ai. Now, for example, I must create a filled shape and then add another shape only with stroke, if I want to tweak the stroke’s opacity.

    Also width tool should be a must on iPad!

  10. Allow pencil to retrace a shape instead of creating a new one

    Right now when I want to edit a shape I've drawn w/ the pencil tool I have to use the anchor edit tool. Can you make it so I can just retrace the shape in a certain area by drawing over an anchor point similar to how it is in the desktop application?

  11. Photoshop Effects

    When I add Photoshop Effects on Mac and then open the file on iPad I can't edit them or add them. If I move an object with an effect on it the effect goes away and won't come back even if you hit undo. I have accidentally moved an object and it lost the effect so I have to wait till I can go on my Mac to fix it.

  12. Pen line options

    It appears that the blob brush for Illustrator on the iPad has different stroke options (chisel, flat, round, etc.), whereas the pen tool only has a uniform line option at this time.
    Please add the different pen stroke types for the iPad! It was such a useful tool and allowed for great line variation!

  13. Incremental nudge

    The ability to nudge objects in any direction incrementally would be helpful to adjust the spacing accurately between objects, similar to using the cursor keys in the desktop version

  14. Please continue adding mouse/keyboard commands from the desktop version

    I’m loving where this is going... However, as a long-time illustrator user, I’m hoping more can be added to match the desktop version’s drawing speed.

    I’m missing these keyboard shortcuts:

    • Zoom in/zoom out keyboard command with the mouse click.
    • The ‘Bring to front/Send to back” keyboard command.
    • The “join points/average points” key command (cmnd-j)

    And while I love the ‘move point along line’ feature, by using the option key to enact it, we can’t change a corner-pull point as we can with the desktop version.

  17. Import AI files directly from desktop version to IpadOS version

    I want to work on the same AI file that I made on the desktop Adobe Illustrator on my IPAD. Currently, there is no cross-compatibility and I cannot import my .AI files. If there is, the compatibilty needs to be more noticable and import needs to be easier.
