So in short- the answer is NO. Yes, I am aware that it works with the IPad.

Is this an automated bot answer because I’ve seen this same answer on numerous other discussions. It’s not very helpful.

On the other hand, I did find a helpful answer on google! The answer is to use Sidecar to mirror your MacBook with IPad.

I can tell you with great certainty that babowa is not a bot. There is no need to be rude. We are your fellow users. We only know what Apple has said publicly. If Apple has not announced that the Apple Pencil will work with a trackpad then, as far as we know, it won't.

You can certainly let Apple know your thoughts on what you'd like to see in the future here:
