You can add an alternate appearance to your iPhone's Face ID to improve recognition in different situations or for other people who may need to unlock your device.
Adding an Alternate Appearance for Face ID
Follow these steps to set up an additional Face ID appearance:
-
Open the Settings App: Locate and tap the gray gear icon on your iPhone's home screen.
-
Navigate to Face ID & Passcode: Scroll down and select the "Face ID & Passcode" option. You may be prompted to enter your passcode for security reasons.
-
Select "Set Up an Alternate Appearance": Under the Face ID section, you'll find this option. Tap on it to begin the process.
-
Follow the On-Screen Instructions: The iPhone will guide you through the Face ID setup process, which will involve moving your head slowly in a circle to capture the required data. Ensure your face is well-lit and clearly visible.
-
Complete the Scan: Once the scan is complete, you’ll see a confirmation message. Your second appearance is now saved, and Face ID should recognize you or the other person even more accurately.
