Hi Gigi-Cocoa-Beach

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community!


Wondering what you are doing on your iPad when you get the notice on the screen.

... there are some things that can be authorised with Face ID when your face can be viewed on screen.


Example: Your iPad settings may be set to unlock iPad with Face ID ?

If so, the note on the screen should go away when you bring your face closer into the screens view, and your face is identified as the iPad's user, and iPad unlocks.


If you can use a passcode ok, instead of Face ID, and you know that passcode.

It may help to:

"Temporarily disable Face ID

You can temporarily prevent Face ID from unlocking your iPad.

  1. Press and hold the top button and either volume button for 2 seconds.
  2. After the sliders appear, press the top button to immediately lock iPad.
  3. iPad locks automatically if you don’t touch the screen for a minute or so.

The next time you unlock iPad with your passcode, Face ID is enabled again."


For more info. on Face ID settings: See: Set up Face ID on iPad - Apple Support (includes above instructions)


All the best :-)
