Face ID fails to recognize me 90% of the time on iPad Pro.

How do I know why it fails. What can I do to make it work?

I have read and done everything that's mentioned in Apple Support document, If Face ID isn't working on your iPhone or iPad Pro.

How, at least immediately after saving a Face ID scan can I check that it works, i.e. test Face ID say 10 times.

Now it seems to unlock from wake-up and is working about half of the time and in apps e.g. App Store not working at all - How can I keep retrying so it learns?

have just got a useful message from an app - saying that Face ID had failed 5 times so I need to reenter the apps password.

    Have you tried it with someone else's face to see if it's just you?

  • @fsb no - and I don't have anyone near - it works sometimes - e.g. just now twice in a row

    I don't have any problem and it even recognizes me with/without glasses, hats, etc. If it's still under warranty you should take it back to have it replaced.

In this case it was the distance between face and ipad. Apple says 10-20 inches. I need it to be more than 20 inches to get 60% working on wakeup which is difficult when I can only read the message to use Face Id from less than 10 inches
