Apple Pen may affect WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity

I recently purchased a second hand apple pen that has connected to my pad but won’t work. The sell shows it connects and writes to their iPad. And it doesn’t have this error saying that the Apple Pencil may affect WiFI and Bluetooth connectivity. Is there anything I can do to fix it and get the Apple Pencil to work.

Chances are pretty good that this used Apple Pencil is faulty. As such, I suggest that you return it for a full refund.


The error you're seeing about the Apple Pencil potentially affecting Wi-Fi and Bluetooth isn’t super common, but it can happen, particularly with older Apple Pencils that might be damaged or have internal component faults (like a failing Bluetooth radio or interference from a bad battery).
