To connect your Apple Pencil to your iPad, follow these simple steps:
- Make sure your iPad is powered on and unlocked.
- Uncap your Apple Pencil to reveal the Lightning connector (for Apple Pencil 1st generation).
- Plug the Lightning connector of your Apple Pencil into the Lightning port of your iPad.
- A "Bluetooth Pairing Request" prompt will appear on your iPad's screen.
- Tap "Pair" on the prompt.
- That's it! Your Apple Pencil is now paired and ready to use.
Important Notes:
- These instructions are specific to the 1st generation Apple Pencil, which uses a Lightning connector for pairing and charging.
- For the 2nd generation Apple Pencil, pairing is even simpler. Just attach the Pencil magnetically to the side of your compatible iPad. A pairing prompt will appear on the screen.
If your question refers to connecting a specific generation of Apple Pencil (e.g., "How do I connect my Apple Pencil 2nd generation?"), the process might slightly differ. To clarify:
- Apple Pencil (1st generation): Pairs via the Lightning connector, as described above.
- Apple Pencil (2nd generation): Pairs magnetically to the side of compatible iPads.
