Scribble not working

I bought a new Apple pen and scribble was automatically enabled but I can’t write or do any of the scribble functions. And also where can I see the battery of the pen in my iPad? Please help

This will seem like obvious stuff but sometimes it needs to be asked. Is the pencil paired to the iPad? Which pencil and what iPad model (be specific. iPad Pro 11-inch M4 and Apple Pencil Pro would be an example of being specific). You say you can’t write either…does this mean the pencil isn’t functioning at all?


You can see the battery level in Settings under Apple Pencil. If you have the battery widget on your iPad you can see it there also. This is of course assuming the pencil is paired.
