Hello,
After upgrading to iPad OS 18.1, Rest Finger To Open not working on my device - which is an 9th-generation iPad (10.2 inch) - anymore, now I have to actually press the Home button, only then I can unlock the screen with Touch ID. It was fine on iPad OS 17, where I just need to rest my finger on the Touch ID (or Home button) and it would unlock the device right away, no need to press.
I'm sure all the required settings have been checked (please check out the screenshots). Not sure if anyone else is facing this. Hope it's not only me.
Please take a look at this and fix it if it's a genuine issue. Thank you.
