On the iPad Pro, Apple Pencil 2 automatically turns on and enters pairing mode when you remove it from its magnetic storage location on the side of the iPad. However, if you want to get the most out of your Pencil 2’s battery life, you should set the Hold Duration to the shortest setting.
To do this, open the Settings app on your iPad Pro and tap “Apple Pencil.” On the next screen, tap “Hold Duration” and then select “Short.” With this setting enabled, your Pencil 2 will enter sleep mode after 30 seconds of inactivity.
Assuming you’re using an iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil 2, there are two ways to turn on your pencil. The first is by tapping the Done button on the top of the pencil. The second is by double-tapping the lower part of the barrel.
