What is what to do when apple pencil is not working?

Here's some troubleshooting information for when your Apple Pencil isn't working:

  • Check the Battery: Make sure your Apple%20Pencil%20battery has sufficient charge. Connect it to your iPad to charge. A quick 15-second charge can provide a decent amount of usage time.

  • Ensure Proper Pairing: Verify that your Apple%20Pencil%20is%20paired correctly with your iPad. Go to Settings > Bluetooth and check if the pencil is listed under "My Devices." If not, try re-pairing it. First, unpair if it's listed, then reconnect.

  • Check the Nib: The Apple%20Pencil%20nib might be loose or damaged. Try tightening the nib by twisting it clockwise. If it's damaged, replace it with a new one.

  • Restart Your iPad: A simple restart can often resolve minor software glitches. Turn off your iPad completely and then turn it back on.

  • Clean the iPad Screen: Dirt or debris on the iPad%20screen can interfere with the Pencil's sensitivity. Clean the screen with a soft, lint-free cloth.

  • Check Compatibility: Ensure your Apple%20Pencil%20model is compatible with your iPad model. The 1st generation and 2nd generation Pencils are not interchangeable across all iPad models.

  • Software Update: Make sure your iPadOS%20is%20up%20to%20date. Go to Settings > General > Software Update to check for available updates.

  • Bluetooth Interference: Bluetooth devices can sometimes interfere with the Apple Pencil's connection. Try turning off other Bluetooth%20devices nearby to see if that resolves the issue.

  • Contact Apple Support: If none of the above steps work, there might be a hardware issue. Contact Apple%20Support for further assistance.
