Apple Pencil 2 won’t connect!

Hi there, I recently bought an ipad pro 11 inch and the apple pencil 2. However, my apple pencil isn’t able to connect to my ipad. I’ve tried putting it on the magnetic bar on the side of the ipad and the tap to connect sign pops up but it isn’t connected by bluetooth + it doesn’t pop up in the bluetooth setting. Please help, thank you.

iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi, Cellular

hi all, I have followed all suggestions in this forum:


  • restart iPad (unsuccessful)
  • try and pair again (unsuccessful)
  • Reset network settings (unsuccessful)


after all this I did managed to make it pair: after tapping the pair button, which was unsuccessful, I switched off Bluetooth from settings->Bluetooth and switched backed on. The pencil magically paired again!


hope this helps
