Wake up the Apple Pencil?
How can I 'wake up' the Apple Pencil 1 without having to plug it into the ipad everytime? It's not the battery or the bluetooth setting.
iPad (9th generation)
If you turn-off Bluetooth on your iPad, a paired Pencil will eventually turn-off its Bluetooth radio - and will not reconnect with the iPad until it is re-paired by plugging-in to the iPad’s Lightning port.
Providing that you do not turn-off Bluetooth from iPad settings, your Pencil should remain paired and active even when the iPad is inactive and locked.
