Please add groups support

I love the app, but only one thing makes me always go to other drawing apps, it is lack of group support. It should be possible to clip a group to a layer, make a mask or a group, change whole group color settings such as brightness or saturation, change a mode for the whole group (like multiply or screen). If only procreate would have it I’d delete all other apps that take place on my iPad and probably never ever even try any other, that’s how I love it. So I’m begging, please add groups support to it

Hi 匿名15862 — We appreciate your great review, and that you have taken the time to share your feedback with us 🤗. We are interested in adding Adjustment Layers, which would work for Groups as well, same as Blend modes for Groups. We cannot promise a specific time frame for these, but we work hard every day to improve all our apps further 🙏. - For any future queries about Procreate apps feel free to contact us anytime, via the Support Form at: procre.at/support - we are always happy to assist however possible!
Good app but needs few improvements

I genuinely love procreate and the way it works but there is one thing that just neeeeeds to be fixed/changed..Please.. please we’re begging you, y’all need to make it so, that if you by accident leaveyour artwork you and go back you can change and go back.. even if it’s like 3 turns or something. The amout of artworks that have been ruined by accidentally leaving the artwork/ipad running out of battery or procreate by itself lagging and closing.

Hi i.n.i.m.e.n.e, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We have captured your feedback to share with the team here 😊
Thank you so much for helping me

Thank you for helping me find the gesture controls. I have only 1 problem left. Could you add a option, that you can just choose some pictures you have made, and then you click a button and they go to the photos
Developer Response
Edited 25/11/2025 - Hi Kisakuri - We are glad we have been able to help. You can save your artwork to the Photos app. To do this, tap Select in the top right-hand corner of the Gallery, select the artworks you want to save, tap Share, select a file format and then tap Save Image. This should save your selected artworks to Photos in the file format you selected. We hope this helps! 🫶19/08/2025 - Edited 19/08/2025 - Hi Kisakuri - At this point we think it will probably be a more streamlined approach if you get in touch with us directly so we can help you make these tools work better for you. procre.at/support15/08/2025 - Hi Kisakuri, thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback! 1. Our Eyedropper tool can allow you to select colours from the canvas - by default, this can be activated by a tap and hold on your canvas. You can confirm your settings for this feature in Actions (wrench) > Prefs > Gesture controls > Eyedropper. 2. We also recommend adjusting your threshold when using ColorDrop to refine your colour fill: drag your colour into the canvas > hold it over the area you would like to fill. As you hold over the area, the ColorDrop Threshold will appear in the notification bar at the top of the screen. To change the threshold, keep holding and swipe left or right to change the threshold percentage. Once you are happy with the threshold, take your Apple Pencil (or finger) off the canvas to commit the change.3 & 4. We would be happy to help with customisation settings for your brush to control the size range and how the brush blends when overlapping brush strokes at a lower Opacity. Please reach out to the team using our form (procre.at/support) and we'll be happy to assist. 🤗
OK. We went too far. This update sharpens the corners of your Gallery thumbnails. It also calms down the height of Animation and Page Assist and fixes an issue in 3D painting where you couldn't import meshes without normals.
Remember that all your custom brushes are available in the Classic Library by pinching the brush panel, or tapping the Procreate Library title.
