Can I use Apple Pencil 2 for scrolling through apps like Instagram, Pinterest etc, as well as sites to purchase stuff ?

Hello Stressfairy-,

We understand you'd like to use your Apple Pencil to scroll through apps and sites. We'd be happy to provide information.

Your Apple Pencil can be used for features beyond drawing. This feature can be changed from Settings > Apple Pencil > Only Draw with Apple Pencil. When this feature is disabled, you'll be able to scroll with your Apple Pencil.

We also have a resource for tips to Use Apple Pencil with your iPad.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
