Troubleshooting
iPad is slow or lagging
Close unnecessary apps running in the background. Check your available storage in Settings > General > iPad Storage. Free up space if it's nearly full. Restart your iPad.
Battery drains quickly

Ensure your Apple Pencil is charged. Plug the Apple Pencil into the Lightning port of your iPad. If it still doesn't pair, restart your iPad and ensure Bluetooth is enabled in 'Settings > Bluetooth'.
