Make sure your Apple Pencil is on the curved in side, ON TOP OF THE IPAD. It should magnet itself then you should see a. “Apple Pencil 100%”. This is for iPad only, I’d need what kind of other iPad your using for others?


TIPS FOR ALL IPADS -


Turn your Bluetooth off and back on.

Restart your iPad.

Still not working? Take it to an apple for for support www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar


If your using first generation Apple Pencil charge it, and connect it via Bluetooth.


  • Apple store is normally your best bet, I cannot totally diagnose your issue online due to the fact I am not physically looking at your Pencil and or iPad.
