Check led light

The easiest way to tell if your Apple Pencil is charging is to check the LED light on the side of the connector. This light will be white when the Apple Pencil is connected to power and fully charged, and it will be amber when the Apple Pencil is connected to power and charging.

Check the Battery Indicator in the Settings Menu

The first way to tell if your Apple Pencil is charging is to check the battery indicator in the Settings menu. To do this, open settings app on your iPad and tap on the Battery section. If you see a green battery icon next to the Apple Pencil entry, that means it’s currently charging.

Use a Third-Party App

The easiest way to check if your Apple Pencil is charging is to use a third-party app. There are a few different apps that you can use, but we recommend using “Apple Pencil Check”.

To use this app, simply download it from the App Store and open it. Once the app is open, you will see a green light next to the word “Charging” if your Apple Pencil is indeed charging. If the light is red, then your Apple Pencil is not charging.

This app also has a widget that you can add to your device’s Today View. This widget will show you the current charge level of your Apple Pencil so that you can easily see if it needs to be charged.
