HO TO USE APPLE PENCIL

I bought the Apple pencil. No instructions provided. I paired it. Can't figure out how to use it. Is there an instruction manual?

OK. I opened NOTES. INSTRUCTIONS SAY

To draw, tap User uploaded file. If you don't see User uploaded file, upgrade your notes. To sketch, tap User uploaded file, then tap Add Sketch. There is no pencil icon or +. I have a new ipad pro 12.9. I tried to draw and I get "Drawing using apple pencil is only supported on noted stored in icloud account. Now what?

I'm looking at the screen of my iPad Pro 10.5. I see the pencil icon in the lower right corner of the screen whether in portrait or landscape mode. The plus mark icon is directly to the left of it.


As indicated, are you using iCloud Notes? If you go to Settings>Notes, are you using iCloud, or On My iPad? Do you have a setting on under Apple Pencil?
