Apple Pencil showing connected but not working with my iPad (6th gen)

I just got a new apple pencil and a refurbished 6th gen ipad. The pencil isnt working on this ipad or another one I have. Ive re screwed the tip, restarted the ipad, turned blue tooth off and on, still nothing. It says its connected it just doesnt work.

Am wondering which pencil model you have.


If you haven't already:

You may need to check which IPad your new pencil works with:

Apple Pencil compatibility - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"Find out which Apple Pencil works with which iPad. " You can see more info. in the linked article.
