Apple pencil stopped working after upgrade

My Apple pencil has stopped working since I upgraded the software on my iPad to iOS 11.2.6.


My pencil is not connecting to the iPad via bluetooth or registering when connected directly to the iPad.


Is anyone else having this problem?

Have you tried a hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons?


Have you tried forgetting the Bluetooth connection of the Pencil in the Settings app and then try to reconnect?

Make sure the tip of the Pencil is secure screwed on.


Is the Pencil charged up?
