I just received my ipad pro pencil. I paired it. The Bluetooth is on and it tells me the pencil is connected. When I try to use the pencil, nothing happens!

I do not think Pages is a compatible Apple Pencil App as this is mainly a page layout app and not a drawing, note taking or text/image editing app.

It is probably the same with Apple Numbers and Keynote apps, as well. You would need to check their descriptions on the iOS App Store to check Apple Pencil compatibility.

You need to look for third party apps the are compatible with the Apple Pencil and with other stylii, as well.

Search the iOS App Store for

Apple Pencil apps or even Bluetooth stylus apps


to see if these types of apps are compatible with the Apple Pencil, too!


Good Luck
