My iPad Pro doesn´t allow to turn on iCloud Drive.

My iPad Pro (iOS 16.2) doesn´t give a option to turn on iCloud Drive. If I choose settings>myname>iCloud, there isn´t mention iCloud Drive. Under the list of apps using iCloud, there are iCloud Mail, Notes, Messages, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Safari, Stocks, Home, Game Center, Siri and Freeform. Nothing else. I have tried restart, log out from my Apple ID account etc. To be frank, I dont have any ideas.

iPad Pro, 11-inch, 4th Gen, Cell mmW

Any chance that Lockdown Mode has been enabled on your iPad Pro?

If you updated to iPadOS 16.2 wirelessly, setting the device back to factory settings using the computer might help. Set it up as a new device first, without using the latest backup. Then try enable iCloud Drive.

If it works, restore from the latest back.
