This article will guide you through the steps to pair your Apple Pen with your iPad, so you can start using it without any hassle.

The first generation Apple Pencil is compatible with the 12.9-inch iPad Pro (1st generation), while the second generation Apple Pencil is compatible with the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd generation) and later models. Check the compatibility of your pen and iPad before proceeding.

Step 2: Turn on Your iPad

Make sure your iPad is turned on and ready for pairing. If your iPad is in sleep mode, simply press the top button (or side button, depending on the model) to wake it up.

In the Apple Pencil settings, you will see an option to “Pair Apple Pencil.” Tap on this option to begin the pairing process. Your iPad will automatically detect the pen, and you will be prompted to hold the pen near the top of your iPad.

Step 5: Confirm the Pairing

As you hold the pen near the top of your iPad, a prompt will appear on the screen asking you to confirm the pairing. Simply tap “Agree” to complete the process.

Step 6: Test Your Apple Pen

After the pairing is complete, your Apple Pen should be ready for use. To test the pen, simply tap or write on the screen. You should see the cursor or ink appear, indicating that the pen is working correctly.

Step 7: Keep Your Apple Pen Paired

Your Apple Pen will remain paired with your iPad until you manually disconnect it. If you need to disconnect the pen, go to the Apple Pencil settings and tap “Disconnect Apple Pencil.”

In conclusion, pairing your Apple Pen with your iPad is a simple and straightforward process. By following these steps, you can ensure that your pen is ready for use whenever you need it. Happy note-taking and drawing!
