My Apple Pencil 2 working on other iPads, but not mine

My Apple Pencil 2 stopped working continuously, but it works on other iPads perfectly fine. I then try my wifés Pencil on my ipad and it works fine!. So other pencils works on my ipad, my Pencil works on other iPads, but not on mine.

obviously something is wrong between my ipad and my Pencil, for sure many others have the same situation.

Any possible solution?

I’ve had this same issue. My friend’s Apple Pencil 2 works on my iPad Pro (M1), and my Apple Pencil 2 works on his iPad Air, but my own Apple Pencil 2 doesn’t work on my own iPad Pro. I’ve updated to the latest iPad OS 17.5.1, done a regular restart (power+volume button and sliding off) and another kind (volume up, volume down, power button until Apple logo shows up) and nothing worked. Is there any possible workaround?


Try resetting your iPad's Network settings - as this will often resolve Bluetooth connection issues:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset Network Settings

Hey Angelluisp,


It sounds like you've done some great testing to narrow the issue down further. We'd recommend reviewing this article for steps to help resolve Apple Pencil issues: Pair Apple Pencil with your iPad - Apple Support


You may also want to provide some additional information to help narrow the issue down further.


You mentioned that you've tried more than one Apple Pencil, were they also an Apple Pencil 2nd generation? Or were they the Apple Pencil 1st generation?


Which model of iPad and version of iPadOS is running on your iPad?


Thanks!
