Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS. Make sure that your fingers and the Touch ID sensor are clean and dry. * For the Touch ID sensor, use a clean, lint-free cloth to wipe off any dirt or debris. Your finger should cover the Touch ID sensor completely, touching the surrounding metal ring.
