Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Apple Pencil Generation 2

My Apple Pencil won’t connect to my Apple IPAD, I tried everything that they have recommended for Bluetooth, but nothing. When the pencil is connected to the side of the IPAD, it recognizes it on the top of the screen as Apple Pencil, but doesn’t connect to Bluetooth. My Pencil is less than 1 year old.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, 15

Hi Buddie05,

Welcome too the Apopole Community.


Wondering which iPad model you have,

also

which app you are trying to use Pencil with

and

if the Gen 2 pencil is charged, and is compatible with your iPad.


NB: We also don't know if you have been using that Pencil with that iPad before.


Find out which iPad model you have.
