Consistent Pressure: Apply consistent, gentle pressure when placing your finger on the sensor.
Multiple Angles: The iPad will guide you to capture different angles and edges of your fingerprint, so be sure to follow prompts to lift and reposition it.
Use a Dry Finger: Make sure that your finger is dry, clean and not covered in lotion. This will help ensure an accurate scan.
Multiple Fingers: You can add multiple fingerprints, allowing different fingers or different people to unlock the iPad. This is very helpful for families or for those who use their iPad in multiple situations.
