Make Find My available for Apple Pencil!

I thought I lost my Apple Pencil and when I went to Find My app it is not part of that app. I’m deeply disappointed. This is a new generation Pencil and iPad Pro so it should certainly be there (not just as a Bluetooth device). Please add this feature. Thanks.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

The is no technical means to locate a lost Apple Pencil.


Soon after the Pencil becomes idle - and stops moving - the Pencil will shut-off its Bluetooth connection. An Apple Pencil also lacks a Wideband radio - or a WiFi network connection with which to communicate its location with Apple’s servers - or GPS with which to independently determine its location.
