I officially hate FaceID on the iPad

I'm pretty sure that's why Apple changed the way Face ID works, so it can unlock when the device is horizontal. I can't think of an instance where Face ID would kick in while someone was browsing the web and holding the iPad with two hands, unless they were using their nose as a pointing device.
I love it. So much more easy for me. I always use in landscape and moving my hand is not a problem if in the way of the camera. It is a win, win for me.
Lol. Apple fanboism to level max.
I still hate my iPhone X’s faceID even after 1 yr. There is absolutely nothing to like about faceID.
Because it works well for me, and not for you I’m a fanboy? Ok run along now little troll, grown ups are taking.

Then your palm would be covering it when holding

I’m sorry, I had to laugh when I read this post. I’m thinking...um...just move your hand. How hard is that? Reminded me of this Seinfeld clip. Lol.
Cool - I wasn’t aware of the space bar double tap shortcut - works like a dream. For me, FaceID on the Pro is so much better than on my iPhoneX; quicker and more accurate. I like it!
Is there a way to unlock and open to the homescreen with FaceID devices without swiping at all? That would be great....
Not with a bare iPad. Only the shortcuts available when you’re using a keyboard.
Unless you’re jailbroken of course.
Hahaha sure
Only from over a year ago, but it's something.[doublepost=1541959561][/doublepost]
Dont tease that
Id definitely buy the new iPP if there was a jailbreak for it!
It’s funny I was thinking about how much I love Face ID on my new iPad but I can see where this would be an annoyance if you’re always holding it with your hands. I either have mine on a lap pillow or in a stand that holds it up. Face ID is great in those scenarios.
That would be nice if they did that. 95% of the time I am also in landscape mode including for FaceTime calls.

Don't understand all the fuss, face id on my new iPad is awesome and very reliable. Remember to disable "require attention" in the face id settings.
I’ve had almost every home button on every ipad i’ve ever bought eventually fail. Now THAT is annoying. I will take face ID & simply moving my hand any day over that. Seriously. Face ID is super speedy and works in any orientation. What a convenience. Good riddance to the physical home button.
Yes!! In the past I would turn on the multi-finger gesture to close apps to reduce wear on the button and try and extend its lifecycle.
I absolutely love the Face ID. I use a lap stand 99% of the time and it works perfectly. I have an older iPhone so it’s new to me, and I think it’s a great feature.
And everyone else would hate an off center camera for FaceTime.
Besides, the camera is not in the center on the back, so your comment makes no sense for 2 reasons.
I like faceid on the iPad. It makes logging in to websites etc much easier with keychain/1Password authenticating practically automatically.
I bought an iPhone 8 instead of 10 because I wasn’t as much a fan on the phone as I use Apple Pay a lot without specifically looking at the phone. Touch ID is easier on a small handheld device.
