Hello,

make sure Bluetooth is on, and check if the Apple Pencil is charged. If it still doesn’t appear, unpair any previously connected devices, then reconnect the Pencil by plugging it in (1st gen) or attaching it magnetically (2nd gen). If it still doesn’t show, contact Apple support as it might be a hardware issue.


Thanks,

Rahul
