iPad 11th gen not recognizing Apple Pencil Pro

Hi, I have an APPLE iPad 11" 11th Gen. 2025 256 GB 5G Wi-Fi tablet and I bought an Apple Pencil Pro stylus, but the iPad doesn't recognize it. What can I do? Are these devices compatible with each other or do I have to buy a different one?

For that iPad (11th generation, or A16) model you would need the USB-C Apple Pencil, as in the compatibility list below.
