Pencil Compatibility

I just purchased a 10.2” 7th gen iPad and would like the 2nd gen pencil, but I’m reading conflicting reports about if it’s compatible or not. Do I need to purchase the 1st gen, or is the 2nd in fact, an option for me?


Thanks!

I also just purchased the iPad7 and I can confirm only the 1st gen pencil will work. Do not buy the 2nd gen version.
