The new iPadOS 17 made so that I can not connect my Apple Pencil to my iPad Pro (2021,11 inch) Just yesterday my Apple Pencil was working now it doesn’t even connect. I click on Settings Bluetooth. It isn’t even there. It stopped working right after I updated it to the IpadOS 17.

APPLE PENCIL 2 WON’T CONNECT FOLLOWING IOS 16.3.1 UPDATE My Apple Pencil 2 will not connect since iOS/iPadOS 16.3.1 update. I tried everything. Reset my network settings, reset my iPad by powering on/off in every way possible, toggling Bluetooth, and forgetting my Apple Pencil from Bluetooth. The Pencil shows up when connecting to magnetic strip on the side of my iPad, but it just displays “Apple Pencil” at the top of my screen indefinitely, it does not end up connecting. PLEASE HELP I NEED MY DEVICE WORKING I HAVE SO MUCH HOMEWORK TO COMPLETE.

My Apple Pencil 1 has done the same thing! Works on an iPad with iOS 17.1.2 but not on an iPad with 17.2. I have hard reset, unpaired, repaired.

Try resetting your iPad's Network Settings:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset Network Settings
