Apple Pencil - Easy to Lose, Hard to Find

[rukind2]

I wish there was an easy way to locate a missing Apple Pencil. I seem to lose it regularly around the house and this last time it's been MIA for too long. Would be nice to have the Apple watch ping it like it does for the iPhone.

Tie an air tag to it like the key to a gas station bathroom.

Not sure what the solution could be.

Apple should have built tracking into the pencil.

All the suggestions above are good thoughts if only they could be achieved. What can happen is to download a bluetooth tracker app - I did this some time ago for the same reason - I forgot which one I used. You can then turn on the app and it should identify items that are generating a bluetooth signal. If it's been a while and the pencil is dead, this obviously won't work, but I found a missing one this way -

How much shorter would the battery life be with location tracking enabled? They could put AriTags in it.

Your holding it wrong 😂

I have the same problem too. That's why I purchased a case with a Pencil holder

I have a Zugu case with has two pencil holder locations, which is fantastic. It's my bad habit, but I get distracted and next thing I know the pencil is MIA. Need to double up the Adderall. 🤣

😩 I keep mine in an actual pencil box, where I'm also keeping my USB-C cables/card reader in.

I would think they'd make it so it'd have to have ended up on the floor, or for it to have not been used in awhile for the tracking to go in effect.

Mine always falls into my couch as that's where I use it the most.
