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

I was finally able to restore my M1 iPad Pro backup to my new M4 iPad Pro I bought last Saturday because it finally got iPadOS 18.0.1; however, the Apple Pencil Pro doesn’t show up in my Find My devices list. Even after I disconnect and re-pair it, and add it to Find My, I keep getting a pop up message saying “This Apple Pencil has already been added to Find My”. But it’s not in my list of devices. Even if I check online to see my devices list, it’s not even there.

Help! Is this a known issue? Do I have a janky Apple Pencil Pro and should I just get it replaced? (I’m still in my return window). I have a call scheduled with Apple Support tomorrow morning, but I have a feeling this is most likely a glitch and there won’t be anything they can do about it.

Anyone experiencing this?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

I exchanged my Pencil Pro for a new one… and surprise, surprise, it worked! It’s definitely a hardware glitch that doesn’t allow you to unpair your device from Find My. I say get AppleCare to replace your Pencil Pro with a new one (even if you don’t have AppleCare+, you’re still within your 1 year warranty, so just get it replaced).
