First Things First: Charging

Plug it into your iPad Pro using the Lightning connector, and you're good to go.

Alright, your Apple Pencil 2 is charged and raring to go. Here's how to turn it on:

  1. Tap the flat end of the Apple Pencil 2 on the side of your iPad Pro. It's like giving it a gentle wake-up tap. If your iPad is asleep, this will wake it up too. It's like your morning coffee, but for your tech.

  2. If you're already using your iPad, just double-tap the flat end. It's like giving it a friendly 'hello' tap.
