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?

    Dear Mark,

    Good day! Thank you for posting your query in our community.

    Based on your description, S pen doesn't work properly on OneNote for Android app.

    To check whether the problem is related to OneNote on Android device, could you please try to write in other non-Office applications and OneNote for the web on Android to see the results?

    If your pen works well on OneNote for the web and other non-Office applications, you can follow the steps below:

    1. Check if there is an available update for your OneNote application. If there is, kindly update on that.
    2. Reset OneNote on your android device:(Before Reset OneNote for android device please note make sure that all contents are synced or have backup. )

    If the problem persists, may I know whether you use personal account or work/school account to login to OneNote?

    Sincerely,

    Hi Jazlyn,

    Thank you very much for you reply to my question. I did actually cover your suggestions before I asked my question to the group. I actually uninstalled the app and then install it again. I have three accounts logged in on my OneNote Android app on my Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, they are two work accounts, as I am a consultant, and my personal account.

    I hope this helps, and any further assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks,

    Mark

    Dear Mark,

    Thank you for your patience so far.

    Since you have already tried most suggestions, and the problem persists, we recommend that you feedback on this issue to OneNote Team. You can open OneNote > select your profile picture in the top left. Then choose Send Feedback, and write this issue.

    At the same time, I understand that this is an urgent problem. I sincerely suggest you create a support ticket for this problem. The engineers there have the escalation channels to deal with such problems. They also have the right to view the problems remotely and have more resources to further deal with OneNote problems.

    • If you are using a work/school account, you can contact the administrator in your company/school and follow the steps in the article to open a ticket.
    • If you are using a personal account, we suggest that you can contact phone support on this page: Contact Microsoft Support.

    To not delay your work, as a workaround, we recommend that you can choose to use OneNote for the web to see if it has the problem.

    Appreciate your understanding.

    Sincerely,

    Jazlyn | Microsoft Community Moderator

    Thank you. I can use all other versions of OneNote but not the OneNote app on my S22 Ultra phone. Which is my main writing tool. I have become increasingly frustrated with the lack of capability to support the full M365 suite.
