Apple Pencil problem

Hey, I had a problem with the iPad apple Pencil after updating the iPad to ios16. The pencil refused to pair with the iPad. I deleted it from Bluetooth and wanted to repair it, but it did not appear again. When I put the Apple Pencil on the magnet, the name Apple Pencil does not appear. Can you help me solve this problem??

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16

Hi Areej14

Welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.


Here's the pairing info. for iPadOS 16:


Pair and charge Apple Pencil (1st generation) with iPad – Apple Support


Pair and charge Apple Pencil (2nd generation) with iPad – Apple Support


And

In Apple's article: Connect Apple Pencil with your iPad - Apple Support

If you scroll down, the article says what to do:

"If your Apple Pencil won't pair with your iPad".

If you haven't already, you may want to try updating to iPadOS 16.2

For reference...

Troubleshooting Apple Pencils:

Use these Links:

Syncing is off, or perhaps it is no longer being seen as a trusted device. So, refer to the following...

Verify the compatibility of your iPad and Apple Pencil


Make sure that Bluetooth is enabled


Be certain there is power to your Apple Pencil
