How to 'reconnect' an Apple pencil 2 to iPad pro? After I used my apple pencil last night, I put it along side with my iPad Pro. I did not return the pencil back to its charging position.
Just a moment ago, when I pick up the pencil and try to make it work with the iPad Pro again, the iPad Pro is simply not responding to any pencil move. I tried many different ways: drawing the pencil in vertical or horizontally across the screen, randomly scribble, the &quot;swipe up from lower right corner&quot; move to trigger screen capture, and tapping on the pencil itself. None of this can reconnect the pencil to the iPad Pro.
When I return the pencil to its charging position, iPad reports that it still holds 70% of charge. So it is not a 'flat battery' issue.

So what is the proper way to reconnect apple Pencil 2 to an iPad Pro?
Attaching Apple Pencil to the side of your iPad should connect it to your iPad. If that doesn’t work, Apple have some other steps you can try:

If your Apple Pencil won't pair with your iPad

Make sure to center your Apple Pencil (2nd generation) on the magnetic connector on the right edge of the iPad. For an Apple Pencil (1st generation), remove the cap and plug your Apple Pencil into the Lightning connector on your iPad.
Restart your iPad, then try to pair again.
Go to Settings &gt; Bluetooth and make sure that Bluetooth is turned on.
On the same screen, look under My Devices for your Apple Pencil. If you see it, tap i. Then tap Forget this Device.
Connect your Apple Pencil in to your iPad and tap the Pair button when it appears after a few seconds.
If you don't see the Pair button, wait for one minute while your Apple Pencil charges. Then try connecting your Apple Pencil again and wait until you see the Pair button.
If you still don’t see the Pair button, contact Apple Support.
