iPads Bluetooth not detecting pencil pro

Just two days ago I got myself iPad Pro 11 inch m4. My iPads Bluetooth is not detecting my Apple Pencil, and yes I did everything watched tonnes of YouTube videos nothing helped, the software is up to date, the nip is perfectly sealed, my iPads charge is 78% currently so I am assuming the pencil must be charged too I don’t know for sure, cause I can’t really see my pencils charge percentage CAUSE MY IPADS NOT DETECTING ANY PENCIL, oh yes another thing, when I plugged in the pencil, the notification popped “Apple Pencil pro” tried connecting it but nothing works, and yes turned on and off the Bluetooth too.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

Be aware that the iPad Pro M4 supports only the new Apple Pencil Pro - and the low cost Apple USB-C Pencil. The first and second generation Apple Pencils are not compatible with your iPad Pro M4.

Here is Apple's definitive compatibility list for Apple Pencil and iPad:

Apple Pencil compatibility - Apple Support

If your Pencil is compatible with your iPad, this support page may help with troubleshooting - as may the iPad User Guide:

If you can't pair Apple Pencil with your iPad - Apple Support

Pair and charge Apple Pencil Pro with iPad - Apple Support

Resetting your iPad's Network Settings has also been known to resolve connectivity issues between iPad and Pencil:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset Network Settings
