The pencil won

Assuming that you have an Apple Pencil that is compatible with your iPad, this support page may be helpful with pairing and use of the Pencil with your iPad:

If you continue to experience difficulties, here is one of the better troubleshooting guides:

Be aware that if your Pencil has been set-aside for an extended period, unused and uncharged, the Pencil battery may now be irretrievably damaged through deep discharge. In common with all Li-ion batteries, they must always have some level of charge.

Hi there,

• Is the Pencil paired with the device?
• Does the app you're trying to use support Apple Pencil?
• Is the Pencil charged?
• What is the condition of the nib? (does it seem loose? Rotate it back in)

You can "Forget This Device" in Bluetooth settings and pair again, plug it to your device.

Restart your iPad.
