Do you have a cover on the iPad or a screen protector? If you do, that may have an effect on the pencil. Do you have a nib on the tip of the pencil? If so, take that off and try again.
If none of that applies to you, try a forced restart.
After I updated my iPad Air 3 to iOS 13.5, I had a heck of a time getting my pencil to work again. I just kept force restarting my iPad until it finally connected and worked.
Would you by chance have another device to test the Pencil with? My wife has a 6th generation iPad which which I was able to pair the Pencil to test to make sure that it wasn’t the Pencil itself.
Which Apple Pencil?
Are you using the latest Ipados software? If not try updating. If that’s not helpful then go to bluetooth settings and see if pencil is connected and check the pencil’s battery.
Yes, iPad is up to date and pencil is charged completely
New Apple Pencil
Thanks, but I’ve done all those steps. It shows that the pencil is connected but when I try to use it....nothing 😩
Trying that now and no I have no screen protector
Nope that didn’t work either
Yes, I tested it on 3 other iPad pros and the same result. I called Apple and they are replacing the pencil. Thanks for all the responses, but it looks like it’s a hardware issue
If it failed to work on three other devices, I would think that’s a pretty good guess at this point. Good luck with the next one.
