Apple Pencil isn’t working on my iPad Pro 3rd gen
So I use a iPad Pro 11in 3rd gen and my Apple Pencil is a 2nd gen and it is connected to Bluetooth but isnt working on my ipad.
Question marked as
As described, the Apple Pencil has successfully paired with the iPad.
Presumably the iPad continues to indicate that the Pencil is "connected" in your iPad's Bluetooth settings when the Pencil is not docked with the iPad's magnetic charging port? If so, inconsistent drawing will either be due to a problem with the Pencil itself, or its interaction with the iPad screen.
Ensure that the user-replaceable Pencil tip is snugly screwed into the body of the Apple Pencil; when fitted correctly you should see a tiny gap, of about the thickness of a sheet of paper, between the tip and pencil body. If slightly loosened, or overtightened, the Pencil may not work properly, if at all.
Be aware that if your iPad screen has ever been replaced by anyone other than Apple, the screen will not be properly calibrated; this situation is known to cause issues with the Pencil. Also, if the Pencil has been dropped onto its tip, or if the tip has been subjected to unnecessary force, the transducer element that its located beneath the replaceable plastic tip may have been damaged; a damaged Pencil cannot be repaired - only replaced.
If you need assistance, the technicians at the Genius Bar of your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) will be able to fully test and assess your iPad and Apple Pencil:
