My Apple pencil was working perfectly until I finished work yesterday - then I accepted the OS update (16.5..1) and today the pencil connects ( after rebooting , reconnecting bluetooth etc ) but is not functioning. The battery is showing 81% . Can someone please advise ?
If your iPad is not performing as expected immediately after performing a system software update, try a forced restart - as this will often clear an isolated issue:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
