Does My Phone or Tablet Have LiDAR?

  • Updated

LiDAR is required to create floor plans with the FloorCapture app.

Only certain iPhone Pro and iPad Pro models include a LiDAR scanner. Android phones and tablets do not currently support LiDAR.

If you're not sure whether your device has LiDAR, use one of the methods below.
 

Method 1: Check Your Device Model (Recommended)

This is the easiest and most reliable way to check. 

On iPhone or iPad:

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap General.
  3. Tap About.
  4. Look for the Model Name.

If your device is one of the models below, it has LiDAR support.

  • iPhone 12 Pro
  • iPhone 12 Pro Max
  • iPhone 13 Pro
  • iPhone 13 Pro Max
  • iPhone 14 Pro
  • iPhone 14 Pro Max
  • iPhone 15 Pro
  • iPhone 15 Pro Max
  • iPhone 16 Pro
  • iPhone 16 Pro Max
  • iPhone 17 Pro
  • iPhone 17 Pro Max

Supported iPads

  • iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation or newer)
  • iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation or newer)

Tip: Devices with "Pro" in the name usually support LiDAR.


Method 2: Check the Back Cameras

You can also look at the back of your device. Devices with LiDAR have a small extra sensor near the camera lenses. It looks like a small dark circle.

Be careful not to confuse the LiDAR scanner with the camera flash.

  • Usually has three camera lenses
  • Includes a small dark LiDAR sensor near the cameras

iPad Pro with LiDAR

  • Has multiple rear cameras
  • Includes a small dark LiDAR sensor beside the cameras

Important Notes

  • Standard iPhones (non-Pro models) do not have LiDAR.
  • Android phones and tablets do not have LiDAR.
  • Some other capture or scanning apps may work on Android without LiDAR, but RoomSketcher's FloorCapture requires a supported LiDAR device.
