Apple Pencil Pro doesn’t show up in Find My list of devices after iPadOS 18.0.1

***UPDATE*** Apple Support did get back with me. They confirmed there appears to be a software issue. The Senior Support is aware and it will most likely be corrected in a future software update. They could not say when to expect it at this time. It's recommended for others with the issue to open a support case. The more diagnostic data they can get may bring a resolution much faster.

The moment 18.2 downloaded it was the first thing I tried and glad it fixed it.

Great news! 18.2 has fixed the issue. Just pair your pencil again and it will now work.

I’ve seen a lot of people in the community wondering why Apple Pencil Pro doesn’t show up in their list of devices in their Apple Account. According to Apple, here’s their explanation:

“Actually, like AirPods, the Apple Pencil and Magic Keyboard will not show on your Apple Account. As for the Magic Keyboard, it will not also appear in Find My which is an exception for Apple Pencil Pro models.”

I had to manually add my Pencil Pro to Find My and it worked ok. Everything is paired now. Worked better once I updated to iOS 18.2

18.2 is installed on my new iPad (a17pro) mini. When I paired the pencil pro, it does not show up in Find My even after manually adding it. I paired it at least 3 times. It keeps saying re-attach Apple Pencil to the side of your iPad to get started.

I have had the exact same issue for months when I first purchased my M4 iPad Pro and Apple Pencil Pro. I thought that after the ipadOS 18 update, it will resolve, but it has not.

I hope to have some news soon. I have an open case with Apple Support. After several tries, they took diagnostic logs and screenshots from my iPad. Everything was escalated to senior support and a follow up call is scheduled for Sunday the 20th. Hope to hear something soon. My spouse is also having the same issue.

Hi did you hear back from support? i stopped short a useless call because they were taking too long and am wondering if i should even call back. they want me to send my diagnostic logs but if you found no resolution i see no point in continuing

I noticed my Apple Pencil pro wasn’t showing a location either. So I removed it from find my, and now…..Can’t add it back. Saying already added to find my lol. I love it when I do basic trouble shooting and then leads me to spending half a day with apple. Called tech, they couldn’t do anything. Blamed hardware and sent me to Apple Store. I’ve removed from Bluetooth, rebooted, all basic trouble shooting. If they tell me to sign out of iCloud and back in…I’ll laugh and leave.

I have an Apple Pro pencil that does not show up on Find My. I have tried to add it manually about five times. Also have a new iPad (A17Pro) mini with iOS 18.2. What is wrong? This problem needs to be fixed. I have unpaired and repaired the pencil.

How do I add my pencil to

Find My??
