Apple Pencil stop working after 18.0.1 update.
Tried same pencil with iOS 17.x (different iPad; same hardware) and it works just fine. It's not a hardware (tip, battery) problem.
I have tried all suggestions: reseting iPad, forgetting Bluetooth device, etc. iPad still recognizes my pencil, but it just does not work.
Anyone with the same problem? Any solution?
iPad Air (5th. Generation); Apple Pencil 2nd. Generation
iPad Air (5th generation)
I've been experiencing same issue. I just bough a Second gen Apple pencil and its not working. It pairs to my ipad pro when I connect it magnetically to the side, but the very moment I remove it, it disconnects. Tried all troubleshooting steps and nothing is working.
My pencil is not working with the update in iOS 18. I have the 5th generation . My iPad is recognizing the pairing but it won’t connect . I don’t have the money to replace one . The Apple advisor suggested I wait for a new update . I use my pencil for everything .
I am having the same trouble with my Apple Pencil 2 after OS18.1.1 recently. When I used the pencil on November 10, it was working well (I do not know what version of OS my iPad was on then). This time around, I deliberately updated the system and look what happened. I have been force resetting my iPad about 40 times in the last 24 hours and it has only managed to detect my pencil 4 times.
Finally I spoke to Apple Support and they say that there is a possibility that there is a glitch during a firmware installation, something like that. I am waiting to speak to them on the phone tomorrow. I really hope this can be fixed, I cannot bring myself to buy this same pencil without a good explanation.
Did you solve your problem yet? Please share your solutions.

Why isn't this info given with the pencil when first bought?? So, now I have a useless $125 stick.
Hear Hear.
Anyone received word from Apple on this?
I’m going to buy a non Apple Pencil….and that’s it.
Mine too. The update killing the pencil. T_T
Mine also stopped working with the 18.1 iPadOS update. It worked beautifully before I updated it. Come on Apple. Time for a bug fix! Enough people have reported the problem
Still broken on November 28th. Will see if 18.1.1 fixes it
