Make Sure The Tip Is On All The Way

1. Carefully grab the tip of your Apple Pencil with two of your fingers.
2. Twist the tip clockwise slowly to see if it twists. If you try to turn the tip clockwise and it doesn’t move, it is fully attached to the Apple Pencil’s base.
3. If the tip does begin to turn when you try to twist it, continue twisting until it is screwed in place securely.

Why this works:

The tip of the Apple Pencil is not permanently secured to the Apple Pencil’s base. In fact, an Apple Pencil tip is designed to be removed and replaced easily.

If your Apple Pencil isn’t working properly, it’s possible that the tip has come loose from the rest of the device. Making sure that the Apple Pencil tip is fully secured is a quick and easy troubleshooting step for a wide array of malfunctions!
