iPad Pro Use case for Pencil without drawing / note taking?

[thadoggfather]

Got a gen 2 pencil for cheap from Amazon warehouse but curious what your favorite uses are for it

I got it just to doodle occasionally and for novelty to navigate sites instead of relying on finger but

trying to figure out more pirposes

i kinda like that it can pull up the small iphone size keyboard instead of full size and screenshot by dragging bottom left but open to more tricks and such

You can use the small floating keyboard even without the Pencil, just pinch the regular keyboard to pop it out. Is there another way to pop it out with the Pencil?

The only other thing I can think of is if you tap the Lock Screen with your Pencil, it opens up the Notes app.

There are probably a couple other little tricks, but I’d say if you’re not into writing, drawing, or markup, or have a big thing about fingerprints on your screen, the other Pencil features probably won’t be enough to make it worth it for you. I think you should use this as an excuse to start drawing/painting more. 👍

I wanted an Apple Pencil for my 4th Gen Air but I couldn’t justify the cost given I am not a drawing person, so I got one of these and it works exactly like a 2nd gen pencil! It even charges magnetically!

I usually use for note taking and draw - not for in class, but during my me time, reflection session. Lots of inspiration coming during that session. Thanks to Apple Pencil.
