Apple pencil pressure isn't detected

My iPad Air 3 doesn't detect the pressure of my Apple pencil. It's been a day and I've tried everything:

I've checked the tip of the pencil, tightened it and changed it with a new one;

I've rebooted the iPad, both by turning it off and on (waiting 1 hour before turning it on) and with forced restart;

I've tried with many apps, but it doesn't work in any of them: Procreate, Goodnotes, Callipeg or the iPad notes;

I've disconnected Bluetooth, unpaired it and paired it again;

I've charged it up to 100%;

I've checked everything in the iPad settings and there isn't anything wrong (I guess);

I haven't dropped the pencil or the iPad



I can't try with another apple pencil since I haven't another one.

The only thing I recently did was carring the iPad, and the pencil in its cover, in a bag, but I protected it well and didn't drop it. It worked fine until 3/4 days ago, then I tried to use it and suddently it wasn't working anymore.

I'm not even sure if it's a pencil problem or an iPad problem.

What can I do? I can't visit an Apple Store soon

iPad Air 3, iPadOS 15

You have evidently followed the majority (if not all) of the recommended steps to diagnose and resolve a problem with your Pencil. As is, the only outstanding tests are to verify operation of your Apple Pencil with a different Apple iPad - or test your iPad with a different Apple Pencil.


You would be best advised to visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad and/or substitute your Pencil:
