Wake iPad 7th gen without button

iPad 7th gen does not have ‘tap to wake’ or ‘raise to wake’. Is it possible to get it?

The 2019, 7th gen 10.2 inch screen iPad does NOT supoort Tap to Wake or Raise to Wake.

ONLY the current 2018 iPad Pro and iDevices WITHOUT a Home button supoort those features.

The Apple Pencil, by default within iOS is designed to wake the iPad, but the iPad does not have Tap or Raise to wake as a feature.

You either have the Apple Pencil to wake the iPad and/or the Touch ID sensor on the Home button.


Sorry.
