User level: Level 1 (4 points)Just bought a new iPad and settings only include Touch ID-not face recognition. Where is face recognition located? I’m told iPads only have one but not both— yet new ones are supposed to have face recognition

Only newer models of the iPad Pro utilize Face ID. Other models use Fingerprint ID.

You asked us to guess which “new iPad” model you purchased.
If it’s an iPad (10th generation or later), iPad Air (4th generation or later), or iPad Mini (6th generation or later), it uses Touch ID.

Depends which one you buy. I think that only the Pro has FaceID. My iPad Air only has TouchID.
