iPad pencil

My pencil is lost somewhere in my house. I have looked everywhere - under furniture, in beds, etc. I also walked house with my iPad hoping the Bluetooth would pick up the signal. It said not connnected. Any suggestions ?

Can a lost Apple Pencil randomly reconnect if it’s just lying nearby? I lost my apple pencil just over a week ago when I was walking between classes at school. I went back to where I heard it drop just a minute later and couldn’t find it so I assumed someone took it. i’ve looked all over the school since then and asked the IT desk and lost-and-found every day and it hasn’t been at either places. I have a clear tip that I bought because my original one broke so I know how to tell it’s mine if I find it. anyway today in class it connected for a second and said 1% battery left then disconnected a second later. this makes me think it was nearby and someone must’ve had it but not connected it to their ipad? i guess i’m just wondering if it’s possible for it to have just randomly connected if it was sitting somewhere unfound or if it had to have either moved by someone or with someone.

Lost Apple Pencil Hello! My Apple Pencil 2 has been gone for 2 days now and I have absolutely no idea where to find it. It has been disconnected from my Bluetooth which makes me think it's out of the 10-30 feet range and must be farther from where I am. I've tried various finder apps and they can rarely pick up the Pencil's signal but it lasts too short for me to find it. I'm worried as maybe the Pencil has already ran out of battery rendering the apps useless, but I think it can last a few more days before draining since I always have it attached to the iPad. I'm currently in a dorm with many people around so it's even harder to locate it. Please give suggestions on apps or techniques to use! Thank you so much!

There are no technical means by which a mislaid Apple Pencil can be located. Even if still charged, a motionless Pencil will shut-off its Bluetooth connection to save power - and therefore cannot be detected via Bluetooth.

The only method to locate a lost Pencil is the Mark1 eyeball...

Hi there NolaNirvana2,

If you lost your Apple Pencil, there isn't a way to locate it other than physically looking for it. If you aren't able to find it, you can purchase another one here: Apple Pencil - Apple

Good luck!
