Hi,

I can use Face ID with this feature on, but it works way more consistently when 
it's off, particularly if I'm in bright light, such as being outside on a sunny 
day. So I have it turned off most of the time. If I were in a situation where I 
was more concerned than usual about security, I would turn it on, though, since 
if it's on, you have to be looking directly at the phone to unlock it.

How well it works depends on how well you can simulate looking at the phone. If 
you have some vision, I would think having it on would make sense. If not, your 
eye condition may affect how well it works.

By the way, the feature is turned off automatically if you set up Face ID with 
VoiceOver running. You can turn it on at any time, though.

Best,
Ana
