How to get Face ID on iPad 10th generation?

Published in iPad Features 2 mins read

Unfortunately, the iPad 10th generation does not support Face ID. Instead, it utilizes Touch ID, which is integrated into the power button.

Here's a breakdown:

  • No Face ID: The iPad 10th generation lacks the TrueDepth camera system required for Face ID functionality.

  • Touch ID via Power Button: Apple opted for a Touch ID sensor embedded in the top (power) button for biometric authentication on this model.

Setting Up Touch ID on iPad 10th Generation

If you haven't already set up Touch ID on your iPad 10th generation, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings: Open the Settings app on your iPad.
  2. Tap Touch ID & Passcode: Find and select "Touch ID & Passcode."
  3. Enter Your Passcode: You'll be prompted to enter your existing passcode (if you have one).
  4. Add a Fingerprint: Tap "Add a Fingerprint…"
  5. Follow On-Screen Instructions: The iPad will guide you through the process of registering your fingerprint. Make sure to adjust your finger position for accurate scanning.
  6. Continue Adjusting Grip: The iPad will ask you to continue adjusting your grip to capture all angles of your fingerprint.
  7. Complete Touch ID Setup: Once the scan is complete, Touch ID will be set up.

Using Touch ID

Once set up, you can use Touch ID to:

  • Unlock your iPad
  • Authenticate purchases in the App Store, iTunes Store, and Apple Books
  • Sign in to apps that support Touch ID

Therefore, while the iPad 10th generation doesn't offer Face ID, Touch ID provides a secure and convenient alternative for biometric authentication.
