S pen writing not shown on OneNote android app until lift off screen. Any idea how to fix?

I have a Samsung galaxy S22 ultra. Writing in the OneNote app with my S pen has just become very tricky. Writing does not appear until I take the pen off the screen. So if you try to draw a circle, you do not know where you started until you finish your action and remove your pen from the screen. This only happens on my Galaxy S22 ultra. It does not happen on my Galaxy tab.

Has anyone experienced this and know a fix?

    I'm experiencing the exact same problem with my Samsung S22 Ultra's S-Pen, which was previously providing a smooth writing experience.

    Ever since the recent update, it hasn't been functioning properly. Aren't updates supposed to enhance the user experience?

    Previously, I was using the free version of OneNote but recently switched to the Office 365 version. Has anyone else made a similar transition?

    Additionally, it's worth noting that there have been several updates from Samsung recently.

    Same problem here... I have a work account of a big company. I will try to acces support through there because it is really affecting my workflow and I cannot downgrade the app.

    Is anyone at Microsoft interested in solving this problem or have you just abandoned us?
