Apple Pencil doesn’t show accessory is charging or the battery percentage

When I (connect) put my Apple Pencil on top of my iPad why I can’t see a banner that telling the accessory is charging or the battery percentage like in a picture. It still can write and charge but if I want to see battery percentage i have to go to setting > Apple Pencil or see it on a widget or asking Siri for this. I want it to show again. IPad Pro 11’ 2020. Apple Pencil 2

Hi there laphat,


We understand you're not seeing the charge status at the top of your screen when charging your Apple Pencil, and we'd like to share a resource that can help.


Check it out here: Charge your Apple Pencil and check the battery


Specifically, take a look at the details below:

"If you have Apple Pencil (2nd generation)

Attach your Apple Pencil to the magnetic connector at the center of the top of your iPad—the side with the volume buttons. If you don't see the charge status appear for a moment near the top of the screen, make sure that Bluetooth is turned on."


Cheers!
