The 2nd generation Apple Pencil has several new customizable features that were not available before.
This simple guide will discuss how to change the tap prefs specifically for your Apple Pencil and iPad Pro.
If you’ve got the option to charge wirelessly, you have the 2nd generation Apple Pencil.
It also conveniently clicks onto your iPad pro magnetically as well.
This button is so discreet that some might even miss it.
There are several other tap capabilities that enable you to quickly access tools.
Scroll down until you see the option displaying Apple Pencil.
This enables you to easily switch back to your most recent tools by simply double tapping the side button.
Then, choose another tool that you wish to switch to using the double tap feature.
Having a pen and highlighter can be a great tool combination for note taking purposes.
When you double tap the button, a color palette will display.
This is highly useful for a number of different purposes, particularly for artists.
This allows you to quickly switch between a broader variety of colors for writing or drawing.
These double tap parameters often carry over to third-party applications as well.
However, some app double tap prefs or actions will not carry over outside of the utility itself.
This is especially true if you actively use your Apple Pencil and iPad Pro for drawing or writing purposes.
