The icon you see at the top of this screen appears whenever your iPad asks to use your personal information.You advance to the Set Up Touch ID or Set Up Face ID screen, depending on your iPad model.

14 Say the phrases as each is offered to you.When Hey Siri is set up, you see the Improve Siri & Dictation screen.
15 Tap Share Audio Recordings.The iPad Analytics screen appears.SECURITY USING YOUR FINGER OR YOUR FACEEvery iPad covered in this book is equipped with either Face ID or Touch ID, which is a fingerprint scanner cleverly embedded in the top button (or the Home button, if your iPad has one).With Touch ID and a gentle press of any designated finger, you bypass your passcode. (Setting up passcode safeguards is a good idea and is something I cover in the chapter on security, Chapter 18.)What’s more, you can use your own digit (not the numerical kind) to authenticate iTunes and App Store purchases, and to access your iCloud Keychain passwords or even third-party password keepers. (Go to Settings ⇒ Touch ID & Passcode and make sure that the iTunes & App Store switch is turned on.) You can also use Touch ID to authorize Apple Pay purchases on the web (but not in bricks-and-mortar retail stores).Face ID is much like Touch ID in terms of how you use it, but instead of touching your finger to a fingerprint sensor you look into your camera. The camera has a special Face ID sensor that uses infrared and other camera data to carefully and securely measure your face. As of this writing, only recent iPad Pro models come with Face ID. I cover Face ID in Chapter 18.
16 Tap Share with Apple.The Welcome to iPad screen appears.
17 Tap Get Started.You are taken to the Home screen! You’re now ready to use your iPad.
Locking the iPad
I can think of several sound reasons for locking your iPad:
You don’t want to turn it on inadvertently.
You want to keep prying eyes at bay.
You have a persistently inquisitive child.
You want to spare the battery some juice.
Apple makes locking the iPad a cinch.
Can’t wait? To lock the iPad immediately, press the top button.
Unlocking the iPad is easy, too. Here’s how:
1 Press the top button, or press the Home button on the front of the screen.
2 Do one of the following:If you have Touch ID, use one of your registered fingers to press the top button (or the Home button) to unlock the iPad and go to your Home screen.If you have Face ID, just look at the camera.If you don't have Touch ID or Face ID, or your iPad was just restarted, enter your passcode.See Chapter 18 to find out how to password-protect your iPad.
Mastering the Multitouch Interface
The iPad, like the iPhone, dispenses with a physical mouse and keyboard in favor of a virtual keyboard — a step that seemed revolutionary several years ago but is just-how-it-is today.
