Pencil second generation not recognised by the iPad Pro

Hello,

I just bought a pencil (second generation) for my iPad Pro (second generation) . Unfortunately, the iPad is not recognising the pencil. Bluetooth is not finding the pencil. I tried to switch off Bluetooth, switched off the iPad, reset the network settings. Nothing is working. Please advise.

Thank you!

Best regards

Johan

The 2018, 2nd gen Apple Pencil does NOT work with the 2017, 2nd gen iPad Pro.

ONLY the 1st gen Apple Pencil, the one with silver, metalised band/cap works with your iPad.

You purchased the wrong version of the Apple Pencil.


Apple Pencil - Select - Apple


Sorry & Best of Luck to You!
