Touch ID stopped working on iPad Air since iPadOS 18 My touch-id stopped working except periodically on my IPad Air when I upgraded to IOS 18. I am currently on IOS 18.3.1 and the touch-id does not work. I have tried to delete my fingerprints and re-add them but still a problem. I have noticed others have cited this problem with this version of IOS! Please fix this bug! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

You just posted the reason; with dry skin the sensor can’t see your fingerprint.
