My iPad(8th gen) and Apple Pencil not connecting

Can my ipad 8th generation connect to the Apple Pencil 2? I tried looking up and researching this but I only see that the Apple Pencil 1 can connect with it, and I just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

iPad, iPadOS 14

Hello zoë123,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand that you are having some issues getting your iPad and Apple Pencil connected.


The Apple Pencil (2nd generation) is compatible with these models.


iPad Air (4th generation)

iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation) and later

iPad Pro 11-inch (1st generation) and later


You would need the Apple Pencil (1st generation) for your iPad model. We found that information from Apple Pencil compatibility.


Cheers!
