Touch ID on iPad Mini 4 is not working after unpdate to iOS 14.5

Hi.

After updating to iOS 14.5 on the iPad MIni 4. My Touch ID seems to be working intermittently. I do understadn the ipad mini 4 is quite old already so it is possible it is a processor issue.

I have tried to delete the delete the fingerprints and then added the fingerprints again. As I said, the fingerprint is intermittently detected by the touch button. I have hard restarted the ipad mini also to no avail.

Just wondering if people can point me in the direction to fix this problem.

Thanks

yah its not working properly on my mini 5 either, its asking for passwords for apps and the homescreen is just blank when I lock it, no longer asks for anything just the tiny lcon uptop above the time. Dont get it resets updating apps passwords nothing works, this seems to be related to the update itself a bug or something rather than a function.
