Make sure that your Apple Pencil is fully charged, compatible with an iPad, and ready to link. Follow these steps to connect them.
Tip of the Day
iPad is an invaluable resource for learning, drawing, and exploring. No matter where your education journey leads: school, workplace or home life- it offers limitless potential for creativity and productivity.
1. Turn on Bluetooth
Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on both your iPad and Apple Pencil if it has not detected them in the Settings app, as this may solve any potential issues related to missing devices or being visible as part of My Devices in My Devices list.
If your iPad is from the second generation or later, the Pencil can be magnetically attached to its side via magnetic force. Otherwise, you can connect it using either a Lightning to USB-C adapter or by plugging into an older iPad model’s Lightning port.
Your iPad should always be running the latest software version; updates often contain fixes for issues that prevent it from discovering or connecting to Apple Pencils, such as going into Settings > General > Software Update and checking if necessary. Furthermore, make sure your Apple Pencil remains charged so it has enough power to sync up with your iPad.
2. Attach the Apple Pencil
Apple Pencils are indispensable tools for iPad users, whether taking notes in class or sketching design ideas. Unfortunately, getting it connected properly can be tricky; compatibility issues and pairing issues may arise; luckily these steps will get your Apple Pencil up and running in no time.
Once your iPad meets these criteria and is running iOS 17.1 or later, attaching an Apple Pencil is easy: attach its magnetic connector on the side and connect with Bluetooth pairing; once connected you should see a Bluetooth icon appear. In the Settings app under Apple Pencil you can access additional details like its status, gesture assignments and language support as well as toggle “Try Scribble”, an automated text convertor feature. If you’re experiencing difficulties connecting, restarting or cleaning out its ports may help resolve it.
3. Tap the Pair button
Apple Pencil makes using iPad easy and natural, designed to be your ideal partner in taking notes, marking up screenshots, and recording creative ideas.
Make sure your Bluetooth is activated, and that Apple Pencil is connected to the tablet before tapping Pair. If you are having difficulty connecting, please check compatibility first and re-pair Apple Pencil after restarting iPad/restarting Apple Pencil/re-pairing Apple Pencil as described here before trying restarting iPad/re-pairing again or contact Apple Support directly – they should have you covered.
Apple made an important change between generations of their Apple Pencil with regards to its connector: instead of plugging directly into Lightning port, all subsequent models feature a flat side which magnetically adheres to the edge of iPad for secure attachment and prevents unwanted movement of the pencil during use. It’s a brilliant feature which makes Apple Pencils more usable for all.
4. Wait for the pairing process to complete
Apple Pencils must be connected with an iPad in order to access features like palm rejection, tilt to shade and pressure sensitivity. Furthermore, charging occurs only when they’re linked together with their respective device.
At first, you must ensure your tablet has Bluetooth enabled. You can do this in a settings app (usually marked by a gear icon) where ‘Bluetooth’ is located; open this and tap its toggle switch to switch it on.

Next, attach the Apple Pencil to the magnetic connector on the long side of your iPad using its magnetic connector – for 1st Gen Apple Pencils this means using Lightning; on iPad Pro 10th generation models or later it requires a USB-C to Apple Pencil adapter – until a notification appears displaying its status and battery level; it will remain paired until manually unpaired by you.
