Spatial Scene not appearing on iPad 10th gen

Hi Yrineee!

Unfortunately, the Spatial Scene wallpaper effect is not supported on the iPad 10th generation. Spatial Scenes use an on-device AI algorithm to scan your 2D photo and calculate a 3D depth map, which requires a highly powerful Neural Engine. Because the iPad 10th Gen runs on the older A14 bionic chip, it doesn't meet the hardware threshold to run this feature.

"Supported on iPad Pro 11-inch (M4), iPad Pro 11‑inch (3rd generation and later), iPad Pro 13-inch (M4), iPad Pro 12.9‑inch (5th generation and later), iPad Air 11-inch (M3), iPad Air 11-inch (M2), iPad Air 11-inch (5th generation), iPad Air 13-inch (M3), iPad Air 13-inch (M2), iPad mini (A17 Pro) and iPad mini (6th generation)"

This infomation is from "All New Features_iPadOS 26_Sept_2025"

You’re very welcome.

Hopefully the iPad User Guide will prove to be a useful resource as you learn more about your iPad model’s specific features and capabilities
