I think this is an oversight - and if it was changed it would allow anyone without any training to simply interact with Miro boards without any confusion.

I regularly show Miro boards to people who only need to pan/zoom around the board, and make notes with a pen, using a MS Surface Hub or Ipad.

If they click the pen tool with the stylus to change the colour or switch to an eraser, then try to pan around with their finger and they end up drawing a line they didn’t mean to.

Also I support either having the pen toolbar always visible or not going away once you’ve opened it.

Totally agree, when using the stylus, the hand should not draw anything by mistake. Ideally, I should be freely putting my hand on the screen. I have the same issue 

Hi ​@Eca :) I am having the exact same issue as Neil.

I am using Miro on an iPad with the apple pencil pro 2nd gen and have enabled the toggle titled “Only draw with Stylus” in the latest version of the Miro app (3.25.30240794). Yet the app draws with my finger if only one finger making contact with the display. While there is the workaround of using two fingers simultaneously to pan around the board, it’s much less intuitive and there is clearly a bug since it overrides the setting.

Can the Miro team please solve this issue.
