Can’t connect Apple Pencil to iPad 4

My Apple Pencil doesn’t show up in the list of Bluetooth devices. I’ve restarted the iPad, turned Bluetooth off and back on. What else can I do?

I am tired of users who post here that try to abbreviate their full iPad name, year and model.

An iPad 4 is a 9-year old iPad from 2012 that is waaaay too old to support ANY Pencils.


What iPad year and model do you have/own and what version Pencil are you trying to use with this iPad year and model
