Apple Pencil 2 getting disconnected after detaching from iPad

I was working with my Apple Pencil 2 and it suddenly stopped working. I tried the following fixes but it still doesn’t work:

  1. Checked the battery, it is fully charged
  2. Tried replacing the tip but it still doesn’t work
  3. Turned Bluetooth on and off again and it still didn’t fix the issue


The issue here is that the pencil shows connected in Bluetooth section when it is attached to the iPad, but gets disconnected when I detach the pencil.

Hello kshitij97,


If the Apple Pencil is not staying connected, you can try unpairing and re-pairing it with the iPad. Go to Settings > Bluetooth, find the Apple Pencil in the device list and select the Info button next to it. Then select Forget this Device.


Once it's removed, just connect the Apple Pencil to re-pair it.


Pair Apple Pencil with your iPad


If it still won't stay connected, you'll want to contact Apple for available service options: Get Support


Cheers!
