Touch ID on iPad Model MHNF3LL/A not available?

Previously set up iPad Model MHNF3LL/A with 'Face ID & Passcode'. Would like to add 'Touch ID' but don't see it in Settings.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Your 2021 iPad Pro uses FaceID. All models of iPad in recent years support either TouchID or FaceID - but not both.


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 iPad Air4 and mini6, incorporate the TouchID sensor within the Top (Sleep/Wake) button.


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