Help

We want to help you get the most out of Procreate Pocket. Find answers to your questions with these advanced settings and helpful resources.

Advanced Settings

Adjust advanced Procreate Pocket settings under the hood in the iPhone Settings app.

You can adjust most settings from inside Procreate Pocket. Some settings are fundamental to how Procreate Pocket’s touch responses interact with iOS.

To adjust these you need to head to the iOS setting for Procreate Pocket. You can do this via Settings → Apps → Procreate Pocket, or open up a canvas, expand the top toolbar with the ellipsis → Actions → Help → Advanced Settings to go to iOS Settings.

From here you can adjust the following core functions.

Allow Access

Toggle which iOS apps Procreate Pocket can access.

Allow or deny Procreate Pocket access to Photos app, Bluetooth, the inbuilt camera, Siri, and Document Storage.

Some of these permissions are important to Procreate Pocket’s functionality. For example, you will not be able to export an image from Procreate Pocket into Photos without allowing access. You can toggle access off and on anytime in Advanced Settings.

Procreate Pocket Settings

Tweak basic Procreate Pocket functionality.

Rotate with Pinch Zoom

Switch this on to make rotating while pinch zooming possible in Procreate Pocket.

Canvas Orientation Memory

Switch this on to make Procreate Pocket remember which way you left your canvas oriented.

Fit Canvas Inside Interface

Toggle whether you prefer your canvas to be overlaid by Procreate Pocket’s interface or to fit inside it.

Palm Support™ level

With Palm Support™ you can draw with your palm resting on the screen. Procreate Pocket will ignore your hand and register only your deliberate brushstrokes. Palm Support can be disabled altogether. Or, switch it to Standard (suitable for larger hands), or Fine (perfect for smaller hands).

Disable Time-Lapse

This toggle turns Time-lapse Video recording for your creations on or off.

Simplified Undos

Toggle whether Undo remembers steps within modes separately, or combined them into a single step. An example of this would be if you perform a series of Transformations on selected content. If you then commit those transformations, Procreate Pocket can remember every individual step of the process. Or, it can also remember only the outcome of the transformation.

Simplified Undos are on by default. This means Procreate Pocket doesn’t remember individual steps within a mode. It also means Procreate Pocket has the space remember more Undo steps. This allows you to reach further back over the creation of your work when performing Undo.
