How do I set up Face ID on my iPhone?

Published in Face ID Setup 2 mins read

To set up Face ID on your iPhone, you will need to navigate to the settings menu and follow the on-screen instructions. If you skipped setting up Face ID during the initial setup of your iPhone, you can do it later.

Steps to Set Up Face ID

Here's how you can set up Face ID:

  1. Open the Settings app: Locate the Settings app on your iPhone's home screen and tap to open it.
  2. Navigate to Face ID & Passcode: Scroll down until you find "Face ID & Passcode" and tap it.
    • You may be asked to enter your passcode to proceed.
  3. Tap "Set up Face ID": If Face ID has not been set up, you will see a "Set up Face ID" option; tap it.
  4. Follow the on-screen instructions: The phone will guide you through the process of scanning your face. You will be asked to:
    • Position your face inside the frame.
    • Move your head in a circular motion.
    • Complete a second scan.
  5. Face ID is set up: Once complete, Face ID is ready to use for unlocking your phone, authenticating purchases, and other compatible actions.

Alternate Appearance

You can also add an alternate appearance for Face ID. This is useful if you wear glasses, frequently change your hairstyle, or want another person to be able to use Face ID to unlock your phone.

  • To add an alternate appearance, navigate back to "Face ID & Passcode" in settings.
  • Tap "Set Up an Alternative Appearance" and follow the on-screen instructions.
