I have been using my apple pencil successfully for two years. All of a sudden it stopped working in two drawing apps. First one and then several weeks later the second one. The pencil works everywhere else. I have done the hard reset, I have unpaired and repaired the pencil, I have the most up-to-date software and it still does not work. Any ideas? I use the iPad to draw every single day. (Or, I used to.)

Some glass screen protectors are too thick and can interfere with the registration of touch AND registration of the Pencil by being too far away from actual iPad screen and underlying digitiser screen layer that is needed to register the presence of the Pencil.
Not sure if this IS the issue, or not, but removing a screen protector eliminates a possible offending variable.
Any chance it might be related to the battery life on the pencil? Have you noticed if it runs out of power rather quickly?
The two drawing apps are Procreate and Pigment. Regarding the battery, it's fine. The charge lasts as long as it ever has.
What is weird is that just some of the brushes don't work. I've spoken to both app companies they give me instructions to try but they don't work. They blame if on the pencil itself.
Which two drawing apps?
Which brushes in Procreate?
I have an older 12.9 inch screen iPad Pro and 1st gen Pencil I can test with.
My iPad Pro is running the current iPadOS.
So everything worked perfectly until a couple of weeks ago. And I’ve been using it for two years. I can’t use any brush except monoline under calligraphy. Thank you.
Do you use a glass screen protector?
I do. What are you thinking? I’m confused by the fact that o my some brushes, etc. don’t work. Maybe I’ll take it off.
