Is anyone else having a problem with the Apple Pencil Pro not working properly? There are times where I go to use it and I cannot double tap or use the squeeze feature. It also will get stuck to the point where my pen lines are super thin. I have to restart the iPad for it to start working again. Trying to determine if this is a software related issue or if I need to get my pencil replaced.
Got a tip for us?

Yes! I have been having these issues too. Sometimes it gets solved by rebooting the iPad, but other times I need to unpair and pair the Pencil again…it’s quite frustrating 
I’m glad that I’m not the only one! The fastest workaround I found is to turn Bluetooth off and then back on. It works every time if you shut off Bluetooth from the settings app. I’m hoping this is software related. However, I am leaning towards hardware.Yes! I have been having these issues too.

Yeah I did that too but it didn’t always work…I am thinking of going to the Apple Store and have it checked out
If you do, please let me know what they say. I have been holding out for the next update.
So far the only issue I have experienced with the APP was that it paired ok with the first M4 iPad, however fast forward to a week later , it will not pair nor be discoverable by the 2nd iPad, hence charging was impossible. Basically I swapped the black M4 13�� for the silver. I eventually returned the pencil for a new one . I tried every trick in the book to no avail, It appeared the first pencil was locked to the first iPad , this should not be the case. 🤷♀️
My battery has been good. As soon as I’m done using it, I place it on the charging pad at the top.
