These were such great tips, thank you. The Apple Pencil is one tool that makes using the iPad fun even if you are not an artist; its the best stylist you can buy for your iPad.
just watched a few vids- great pace, good scripting, fine editing. I'm in the process of going paperless in my studio, these tips are invaluable. I'm an old dog (born in the 60s) learning new tricks. Woof! Thank you --
New to “Apple Pencil” (bought a dupe as couldn’t afford the real deal) also hubby just bought me iPad Air 5th gen &i I’ve just came upon your RUclips channel, luv it, so incredibly informative, useful & much needed…… thank you so much!!
Thank you for this video. I had my pencil for a few months and barely used it because I didn’t know how. My search for tips like how to erase, led me to you!
One thing not very well documented at all is how to extend the life of your Apple Pencil's battery. Normally it can't be turned off. It just goes to sleep when it's not being used, but the battery will still slowly drain to nothing over a few weeks. If you want to turn the battery off, then go to Settings, Bluetooth, turn off bluetooth, then turn bluetooth right back on. Your Apple Pencil will no longer be connected. Moving it does nothing. The charge will last for many months. You actually have to attach it to your iPad again to turn it back on. Doing this when your Apple Pencil battery is somewhere between 50% and 80% will extend your Apple Pencil too. Also, 1st Gen Apple Pencil should be charged via a charger, not the iPad's Lightning port. The iPad quickcharges it whereas a regular charger gives it a slower, less stressful charge.
Probably not the most useful feature, but it is a cool thing to know. The pressure sensitivity of the apple pencil can be utilised to make navigation around your iPad marginally faster, when you would normally press and hold on something for a desired action (such as pressing and holding the brightness controls to access the true tone and night mode settings or pressing and holding on an app to display the options including the option to uninstall), pressing harder with the pencil will reduce the delay anywhere from normal delay (light press) to no delay at all (heavy press).
I love the screenshot function I had no idea it could do that. Thanks! I do wish the gmail app had the same pencil functionality as the apple mail app.
The funny thing about using it more than a full size keyboard, is that it is true. I got the expensive magic keyboard and after a year of using my ipad I can honestly say I rarely used it. Just picked up a $20 slim case with a pencil holder and I prefer to use swipe with predictive text. Now if only Apple would give us back the split keyboard on Pro models...
I have the Magic Keyboard as well and don’t use it anymore, I use a keyboard for my iPad but a Bluetooth one so I can easily switch between keyboard and writing by hand with putting the keyboard next too me while my iPad is still in its case. And not having to take the iPad of the keyboard and having no protection while I write with my pencil.
just bought an ipad air to my son with the new apple pencil pro to let him experiment with procreate. I am loving the apple pencil pro. Thanks for the video, it is very useful!
Hi I have ordered a generation 1 2015 for my Apple pro 12.9 pencil hoping it’s compatible as I have sent 2 pencils already. I have downloaded procreate so can’t wait to use it. Thankyou
New to my pencil, but was wondering if I can highlight as I’m reading a PDF. I’m doing a course at the moment and it would be handy to highlight like I used to use a highlighter on paper…
Watching your beautiful videos is always mind refreshing for me ❤️. You present any topics so beautifully ❤️👌. You are a very creative content creator 🙏. Please do keep making regular videos. Thanks !
Accessible touch has a tap for screenshot, no weird combination of buttons just a tap. I’d love it if it could convert handwritten text on paper to text on the ipad. Thanks for your review, very tempted!
Can you do a note I can download with your tips I have problems remembering what to do after watching your video,which you the way is best one I have watched. Thanks.
Thank, an excellent video. I wish to use my iPad with the magic pencil to teach english by connecting it to a tv. I just have to sort out the connectors!
thank you.. I'm having a steep learning curve as I'm about to get an apple ipad pro but want to know how the pen works ..I know I'll need to get the magic keyboard to fully appreciate the tablet but I'm glad I have an idea what to do with the pen now and how to use it on the screen to pull up things.. and Im am artist that's been a bit hesitant about drawing on tablets... I've subscribed because your very calm.. I get real stressed watching other tubers quacking on and hyping apple ... Yes apple is nice.. just keep it simple.. 😉 ☺️
Amigo, One more comment I forgot to mention: It would be very useful for each of the tips you have described to mention what kind of specific setting to have set in order for each one of those tips to work. Several of your tips I was not able to do it, and I supposed it had to do with the settings on both the Ipad and on the pencil..Thank you so much !!
Thank you for sharing.Very useful tips !!...Something I couldn't fond in my ipad Pro, with my Pencil 2 gen: When I tap and hold and try to select several images in order to group them, it didn't work since the canvas kept moving. Is there is something to change in my settings ? Also I could get the option to slide from the bottom right corner to open my note or email Thank you for your reply in advance...
I just subscribed 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 think I only used mine for shapes, sometimes writing and screenshots lol 😂 thought it was a waste of time buying it, cause I don’t draw or colour in . Thank you for showing me SO much more 🥰
What a fantastic video - thank you! In WWDC2020 video the presenter lady (at 40:38 minute mark) reveals a feature to add white space by vertically moving hand drawn text down the page. How would one activate this “make space” feature??
Omg thank you! I’m mainly using my iPad for artwork, so any hints and tips re the pencil are so useful! I do use the notes app a lot so all these shortcuts are brilliant, and the screenshot gesture is like witchcraft 🤣
If you’re writing in portrait mode, on a black screen (e.g. in Notes) in the left side margin (about 1 inch in), do you get screen glow / distortion as if you’re pressing down too hard ? No issue on right margin, just the left. iPad Pro 11 inch 2021
I have an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. I don't get the same options at the top of the on screen keyboard while in Apple Mail. How do you turn those on? Did Apple get rid of those with recent "updates" ??
I use the three finger gesture in Good Notes all the time! I‘m left handed so my right fingers lay on the screen, always ready to undo something. But I built that bad habit to delete every letter that doesn‘t look good so my writing speed is usually very slow :D (I’m a perfectionist 😂)
Do you know how when writing with pencil and auto text from your scribble. How do you go to next line? Sometimes I’m doing a note and I want the next one to be on its own line but if I keep writing it just goes as if same note, not sure what the key is to go to next line. Any ideas? Or tips?
In addition to the (frankly bloody handy) three finger swipes for undo & redo, I stumbled on the three finger tap to display a teeny, tiny undo/redo menu bar at the top of the screen, which I find useful if I’m having a little Undo Anxiety™. You all know what I’m talking about.
Thank you so much! I never knew about the undo swipe! I get frustrated outside of Procreate because I didn't think there was an undo tipe\swipe option.
NB You need to have scribble turned on in settings for converting handwriting to text. I don’t know whether this is off by default but it was off on my iPad.😊
Thanks!
These were such great tips, thank you. The Apple Pencil is one tool that makes using the iPad fun even if you are not an artist; its the best stylist you can buy for your iPad.

Stylus.

Haha thank you
I have three iPads Pro, two iPads mini, and four and a half Apple Pencils and if they all got eaten by wild dogs I’d still come for the quality.
@@rgrtht y do u have so much-

Thank you for this video. I had my pencil for a few months and barely used it because I didn’t know how. My search for tips like how to erase, led me to you!
the three finger swipe action works in every app. that’s an useful tip I didn’t know. thanks.

That's a great tip! Nice.
I recommend creating a shortcut to toggle Bluetooth off which you can add as an app icon (Bookmark) on your homescreen or to a shortcut widget
Forget a few weeks, how about a couple of days, even if its just sitting around unused in that time.
Do yourself a favour and enjoy the product. Doing all this to make it last what??? A year more maybe?
What charger?
Thanks for all that info! I barely use my pencil bc I don’t know all its functions. Your video helped me a lot! 👏
LOVE this video!
Well-presented and so useful--I also like the pace--not rushed. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I watched five or six apple pencil tips before this one. This is the best. I especially like the way he indicates pencil 1 or pencil 2. Good job.
Glad it was helpful 🙏🏻

I sure wished these tools like the ipad and apple pencil were available when I was studying, would have made the process absolutely enjoyable.
Agreed. I would have killed for these back at school or college!
Great content- thanks! You can tap a playing RUclips video, and use the pencil to seek through a video with good precision!
I love the screenshot function I had no idea it could do that. Thanks! I do wish the gmail app had the same pencil functionality as the apple mail app.

Yeah I'm not into keyboards on an iPad either, my main case is just the smart folio from Apple!
Split keyboard is trash
I have the Magic Keyboard as well and don’t use it anymore, I use a keyboard for my iPad but a Bluetooth one so I can easily switch between keyboard and writing by hand with putting the keyboard next too me while my iPad is still in its case. And not having to take the iPad of the keyboard and having no protection while I write with my pencil.
Great one! I subscribed, Thanks! Any suggestions on Apps, tricks and tips for writing and editing music with Apple Pencil 2? Cheers! 👍🏻👍🏻

Great vid, but how do you enable the long press email/date etc recognition? Mine doesn’t seem to work…
I am trying to make that work too … apparently a yellow should appear if actionable text recognised … no joy so far
I subscribed u because u have got My Neighbour Totoro playing in the back….loved that movie and now ur content too ….

Had same issue! Should always include settings.
Is the two tap on the pencil for the new version because it’s not on mine and I don’t have all the menu choices.
Scratching out text to delete it is a homage to the early apple messagepad
Thanks for the tips. I am getting one today

That was great! Thanks! Did not know about the three finger undo/redo.
Me either until recently! So good
Very good video. Convinced me to buy an Apple Pencil for my new iPad Air.

Thank you for the awesome tips!!!
Nice tips! Thanks
Great stuff. Thanks for this video.
Dope video, learned a lot.
Mind blown with screenshot
Thank you. I know I'm only using a fraction of the capability of my Apple pencil currently. This helps.
Nice tips👌🏻
W. O. W. My favorite is the auto shape. Thanks brother.
This is amazing, I just got my iPad mini 6th gen. and now planning to get me the pencil. thank you 🙏🏼
Totoro in the background! 😍😍😍😍
Nice tips!
The screenshot tip also works with a finger; no pencil required 😀
This is true, but you need to active it in settings before it does!
@@ByteReview How do you activate it in the settings?

These were really interesting. Thanks
How did you change the color of your keyboard?
Thank you
If you’re writing in portrait mode, on a black screen (e.g. in Notes) in the left side margin (about 1 inch in), do you get screen glow / distortion as if you’re pressing down too hard ? No issue on right margin, just the left. iPad Pro 11 inch 2021
Thanks! Great tips!
Great tips! Especially the second but How can I get apple to recognise my handwriting?
Is that any trick to jump some page previous or next.. directly where i want to be
I have an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. I don't get the same options at the top of the on screen keyboard while in Apple Mail. How do you turn those on? Did Apple get rid of those with recent "updates" ??

Excellent video...the most usefull ipad / apple pencil tips I watched by far!!! excellent job
Ayyy thanks!
I have been looking for this all day. Thank you very much.
Some of these definitely blew my mind. Thanks for the tips!
I Love these tips! Trying them with my new Apple Pencil for my iPad Air 4 now
Very cool
NB You need to have scribble turned on in settings for converting handwriting to text. I don’t know whether this is off by default but it was off on my iPad.😊
These were really great tips! Your explanation was very clear and easy to follow. Thank you !! Happpy to see Japanese letters, "ルート ワン”😄
Do these tips also work with the Logitech Crayon?
I found the screenshot part extremely helpful, thanks!
Glad it helped!
Nice thank you :)
