Apple Pencil 1st Gen and iPad OS14

[PhillyGuy72]

I see all of these new features, improvements for Pencil with iPad and OS14.
May seem like a dumb question - forgive me -- but do these new Pencil features work on the original Apple Pencil, or Gen 2?? With an original 12.9 iPad Pro (2015)

I've seen a few videos, I personally don't see why it wouldn't work with the 1st Gen Pencil (the OS on iPad does all the new functions), but hey...who knows?

I have the original Pencil also the original iPad Pro (2015, same 12.9 size)

Finally updated yesterday to 14. I JUST tried "Scribble" that works well, I totally forgot about that feature. (In settings, you can scroll down to "Pencil" - it has it's own setting," 'Scribble" should be toggled on, you can also hit "Try Scribble" and test that feature. I have to look at the other features - many others ios/PadOS 14 has. (honestly I forgot..LOL)

I know the Apple Pencil 2 does have features the original doesn't though.

ONE thing about the Pencil I'm noticing right now...I'm charging it, but the % has been stuck at 85% for the past 10 minutes. That's not quite normal, this pencil would charge up in no time!

All the IpadOS14 features are the same for gen1 and gen2 pencils. Only difference is the magnetic charging and double tap to change to eraser etc. (those are nice, but not essential). I still love the gen1 pencil and still have it along with the gen2.

Oh ok, I thought it actually had more features. Cool, no need to upgrade my Gen 1
