Appel pencil stop working after update version to 18.1


I upgraded the iPad to version 18.1 and since then the pen (generation 2) does not work... the iPad detects that I place the pen while charging but cannot connect to the iPad.


Has anyone encountered such a problem?

iPad Air, iPadOS 18

Begin by "forgetting" the Pencil from Bluetooth settings:

Settings > Bluetooth > [My Devices] Apple Pencil - tap the blue "i" icon, then select Forget this Device


Once removed from Bluetooth Settings, re-pair the Pencil with the iPad.


If this doesn't resolve the problem, the next step is to reset your iPad's Network Settings:

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