Face ID Or Touch ID Unlock Your iPad
Essential Apple User Magazine|January 2021
iPads have a great way of verifying who you are, to unlock your tablet, make purchases and more. If your iPad has a Home button, you use your fingerprint. If it doesn’t, you simply hold it up to your face, which is then scanned by Face ID. Here’s a guide to setting up whichever feature you have on your iPad.
Face ID Or Touch ID Unlock Your iPad

Setting Up Face ID

1 Open the Settings app and scroll down the list of apps and features until you get to the one called Face ID & Passcode. Tap it to open these settings.

2 If you’ve set up a passcode on your iPad, whether four-digit, six-digit or alphanumeric, you must enter it now to get to the main Face ID settings screen.

3 Tap Set Up Face ID and on the next screen read the instructions; then tap Get Started. You can add two faces to Face ID.

4 Make sure the iPad is in portrait mode, then position your face within the frame. Move your head in a circle until the small white lines go green.

5 Tap Continue. You’re then asked to do exactly the same thing again, moving your head in a circle once more. Do so to complete the second scan.
