See the charge level of the Apple Pencil - how it works

The Apple Pencil works with an integrated battery that you have to charge again and again. You cannot read the current charge level directly on the pen. We'll show you how to find out the load anyway.

Show charge status on Apple Pencil

For some time now, you have been able to use practical widgets on iPhones and iPads that display the charge status of the Apple Pencil and other Bluetooth devices.

• To see the charge level of your Apple Pencil, you first have to add the appropriate widget to your iPad. To do this, switch to the home screen and swipe left once from here.
• You can now scroll through your widgets. If the battery widget is not yet included, tap the gray "Edit" button at the bottom.
• In the view, look for the "Battery" widget and add it by tapping the green plus symbol.
• Then go to "Done" in the top right corner. If the Apple Pencil is connected to your iPad, you will now see the current battery level in the widget.
