Hello. Android app still doesn’t have palm rejection, it was more convenient to draw in a browser, because there I had no accidental dots and lines. Device: Galaxy Tab S7+, S Pen (original).

Thanks for the idea - I tried the Android app on my Samsung today and it’s completely unusable. Worst whiteboarding app I’ve ever tried with a stylus. I just tried the web version on Android and it works exactly as you would hope the Android app would for a stylus. Not a great experience being a web page but the app is pointless so it’s the only option if you have to use Miro with others.
All true. I have tried to use stylus in Miro app on my Samsung Tab7s plus - unusable. Worst experience I have ever had with a stylus
No palm rejection for Android? :(
I signed up to the Community to say THANK YOU for this update. I was fairly light user but think these features (especially pam rejection) will unblock me from becoming a power user. Drawing presets and highlighter are great too.
Hi @Artem Sazonov @Alexei Kiselev @Jonathan Whiteman @Patrick Farrell @Adrian Irwin!
Thanks for the feedback about the issue on Android tablets, we’re investigating it and hope to release a fix soon.
Awesome @Lena Shenkarenko - I know a few folks who wanted that highlighting feature! I also like the lasso - must be the cowboy in me!

Agree. The lack of palm rejection on android makes it unusable.
I admit, I had seen the messages about the updated pencil tool, and was excited to try it out.
Sorry, this is still a dud on Android (S6 tablet). We don’t even need palm rejection, just give us an option to disable drawing by your finger and only allow the stylus to use the pen tool.
@Tolya Filippov You guys are the best. Thanks.
Hey @Artem Sazonov @Alexei Kiselev @Jonathan Whiteman @Patrick Farrell @Adrian Irwin 
We’ve made a prototype where Palm rejection on Android should work. To turn this on, you need to open this link on your Android tablet—it should redirect you to the dashboard in the app.
https://miro.com/app/dashboard/?clientVersion=2.71931.2
The prototype will be turned off automatically if you restart the app. If you’re using Miro in a browser, you’ll need to open this link to turn the prototype off: https://miro.com/clearClientVersion
Please share your feedback if it works fine or not, thanks!
@Tolya Filippov Hello! So, the update. I have deinstalled and then reinstalled the app. Then followed the link - and all I got was an error notification “no such key exists”
@Alexei Kiselev @Adrian Irwin Thank you very much for the feedback, here’s the improved prototype: palm rejection works and the issue you described is fixed. Please check it out and share your feedback:

Hey @Quito Banogon! Thanks for clarifying! Yes, it’s really me, and we’re exploring how to improve palm rejection behavior on Android tablets :)
I have tried to read the comments but might have missed it.
When using my pen on iPad I would like to disable writing with fingers. (like in any drawing tools) i get dotts and doodles all over
@Jonathan Whiteman Hi, thanks for the feedback!
Unfortunately I can’t get this to work - I get an error with the link in the Miro app (NoSuchKey error - I am signed up on the beta program as the key specifies beta/app but it didn’t make any difference).
The prototype was turned off at that moment.
You can try out an updated prototype with this link: https://miro.com/app/dashboard/?clientVersion=2.71669.2
it should redirect you to the dashboard in the app. The prototype will be turned off automatically if you restart the app.
it has this weird behaviour where if I switch apps for any reason and return to Miro it reloads the app and forgets the board I was in. It’s just too hard to use it and with other options like Jamboard, OneNote, etc. I
Thanks for flagging this out, we’ll look into this issue.

Hey guys, we’ve released the latest version of palm rejection for Android devices and it should work fine!
Feel free to share your feedback.
FYI-The latest Android beta test link works very well. It is still a pain to have to use that link to launch the beta version, but so far so good!
@Adrian Irwin Thank you! It worked. Yes, palm rejection is perfect now. However, still overshadowed by frequent app failure to start and subsequent reinstallation. It happens way too often, and not only to me - yesterday my student had to reinstall Miro on his new Ipad righ in the lesson, and he says it occurs all the time. Looking forwad to that fix as well!
The link @Tolya Filippov put in has some extra junk characters at the end, like so: https://miro.com/app/dashboard/?clientVersion=2.71669.2%C2%A0, see the %C2%A0 bit?
@Adrian Irwin Thanks for flagging this out, for some reason it pasted these junk symbols, I edited the initial post.
Anyways, palm rejection appears to work! I just did a quick test, but so far, so good. Great work!
Great, thanks for the feedback!

The link is malformed, try this one: https://miro.com/app/dashboard/?clientVersion=2.71669.2

@Tolya Filippov HI! I have tried, but Miro is not loading again (I have dedcribed the issue earlier, and apparently this one is not fixed). Frankly, I am tired of deinstalling and reinstalling the app every other time. But ok, i will do it again and try later. Thank you!
Would love the highlighter pen to:
1) have straight-line functionality (maybe while holding shift) for occasions when using mouse or trackpad, like smart drawing mode
2) have its blend mode set to e.g. darken or multiply rather than normal so that it doesn’t obscure the thing it is highlighting
please, thanks!
@Tolya Filippov Looks like it

Unfortunately I can’t get this to work - I get an error with the link in the Miro app (NoSuchKey error - I am signed up on the beta program as the key specifies beta/app but it didn’t make any difference). It sounds like it’s working better for others but it’s still an un-useable app on a Samsung S3 with an s-pen from what I can tell. Also, it has this weird behaviour where if I switch apps for any reason and return to Miro it reloads the app and forgets the board I was in. It’s just too hard to use it and with other options like Jamboard, OneNote, etc. I won’t be using Miro unless a customer forces me to and then I’ll use it on Windows 10 or in the web and stick to old school keyboard and mouse. Thanks for trying but I’m out until Miro on Android works.
