I have just added Face ID to Apple Pay but of course have yet to complete a purchase with it. I’ve already paid for the new iPad we plan to collect on Monday. Harvey is to take over my current iPad Air 2, as he took over my previous iPad Air when I bought the 2!
I have not so far had a problem with using Face ID but I only have it on my iPhone, not my iPad; I never thought of using it for that, as I don’t use it to make purchases or browse my bank accounts. Best

I must confess, I did resign myself to that not working, although I think there is an alternative Face ID you can set up for a mask. I have not tried it yet but as things are grinding on it may become necessary. Best Susan
