If you have an iPad and an Apple Pencil, you can edit photos, draw sketches, and take notes like a pro. However, before you can start using your Apple Pencil, you need to connect it to your iPad. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it.

Step 1: Check the Compatibility of Your iPad and Apple Pencil

The first thing you need to do is ensure that your iPad is compatible with the Apple Pencil. Not all iPads support the Apple Pencil.

Next, insert the lightning connector of the Apple Pencil into the lightning port on your iPad. You should hear a chime indicating that your iPad has recognized the Apple Pencil.
