Go back to my question iPad User profile for user: swat5599 swat5599 Author User level: Level 1 8 points How to turn off Apple Pencil

Hi,

I was wondering is there a way to fully power off Apple Pencil 2. Some people on the Internet suggested forgetting the device in Bluetooth settings or keeping it out of range when not in use. I personally turn off Bluetooth when I don't use the pencil. Does that turn off the pencil or I need to forget it from the Bluetooth menu in order to do so?

Best regards.

The Apple pencil is always powered on. There is no way to shut it down.

Make sure you charge it regularly. If the battery dies and is without a charge for too long, the pencil will lose its ability to charge.

  • Apple Pencil needs reconnect after Bluetooth disabled? I just got an Apple Pencil with iPad Air 3. And I have a habit which is disable Bluetooth when not using it, but I realized that once I need to use the pencil, I need to plug into the iPad, even though I did reopen the Bluetooth. Does that means that the only way to reconnect it is to plug in? As I can’t press the reconnect screen in the Bluetooth settings, it insists me to plug in again. I could foresee that this would be way troublesome in a long run! 970 2
