To unpair your Apple Pencil, you need to access your device's Bluetooth settings and select the option to forget the connection.

Here's a simple guide on how to unpair your Apple Pencil from your iPad:

Unpairing your Apple Pencil is a straightforward process primarily done through the Bluetooth settings on your iPad. This is useful if you are troubleshooting connection issues or planning to pair your Apple Pencil with a different compatible device.

Follow these steps based on the standard procedure for managing Bluetooth devices on your iPad:

  1. Go to Settings on your iPad. This is where you manage all your device's configurations.
  2. Tap on Bluetooth in the Settings menu. This section controls all wireless connections via Bluetooth.
  3. Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on. Your device needs Bluetooth active to manage connected accessories.
  4. On the same screen, find your Apple Pencil listed under My Devices. This section shows all the Bluetooth accessories currently connected or previously paired with your iPad.
  5. If you find it, tap the info button. This button is typically represented by a circled "i" next to the device name and provides options specific to that paired device.
  6. Then tap Forget this Device. This action will remove the Apple Pencil from your iPad's list of remembered Bluetooth devices, effectively unpairing it. You may be asked to confirm this action.

Once you tap "Forget this Device," your Apple Pencil will be unpaired and will no longer automatically connect to your iPad.

Quick Overview Table:
