All models of iPad in recent years support either TouchID or FaceID - but not both. If your iPad has TouchID, it does not support FaceID.


All iPad models that support TouchID have a physical Home Button at bottom centre of the screen - within which is the TouchID sensor - or for iPad10, Air4, Air5 and mini6, incorporate the TouchID sensor within the Top (Sleep/Wake) button.


iPad models supporting FaceID have a FaceID sensor (consisting of an Infrared Dot Projector and TrueDepth Camera array) - this sensor being absent from iPad models that support TouchID.
