Hello HVYMNTHL,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
Let's pair your Apple Pencil again and check for updates to help resolve the issue.
Use these steps first:
- "Make sure to center your Apple Pencil (2nd generation) on the magnetic connector on the right edge of the iPad. For an Apple Pencil (1st generation), remove the cap and plug your Apple Pencil into the Lightning connector on your iPad.
- Restart your iPad, then try to pair again.
- Go to Settings > Bluetooth and make sure that Bluetooth is turned on.
- On the same screen, look under My Devices for your Apple Pencil. If you see it, tap
. Then tap Forget this Device. - Connect your Apple Pencil in to your iPad and tap the Pair button when it appears after a few seconds.
- If you don't see the Pair button, wait for one minute while your Apple Pencil charges. Then try connecting your Apple Pencil again and wait until you see the Pair button.
- If you still don’t see the Pair button, contact Apple Support."
This Apple Support page has the full details: Connect Apple Pencil with your iPad - Apple Support
If the issue remains, check for any pending iOS updates, which can help make sure the software is working as expected. This Apple Support page can help get those updates installed: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
We hope this helps.
Cheers!
