Hello,
I have been using Iphone XR and I have never been able to unlock it with Face ID. I've tried to set it up and remove it a few times, it does not work for me, so I gave it up. I wish Apple would bring Touch ID back for all Iphone models. I don't like Passcode, but have no other choice for now.

Thanks, all, for the replies and suggestions. I set mine up in a room where 
there was good light, using VoiceOver, but my sighted husband was standing 
behind me and he said it got a good scan of my face. Since I tried the 
suggestion of holding my phone at arms length from my face I have had much 
better luck. I most definitely prefer touch ID as you can even do that without 
having to pick up your phone, but I'm getting more used to the face ID. I have 
too much on my phone to leave it wide open, although it has been tempting in 
the past.

I went out in bright sunlight, but some people say that is absolutely not

if light had something to do with it. Now, I simply do not know why we could 
not get it done at Wal-Mart.

I wonder if where one is when they initially set up face ID would make a 
diference? I know it is not supposed to make that much of a difference,  but I 
do wonder.  When I get a modern phone and want to set up face ID, I will go 
outside, not in direct sunlight, but using outside light. Some people seem to 
have little problem using it, others just can't seem to make it work 
consistently. Maybe it is like those ocr programs, that only can do as well as 
the scan they are given. Maybe some who have a problem with it gave their phone 
a not so good scan of their face to start with. I know voice over said it was 
okay, but maybe a better scan would work better. This is just speculation on my 
part, I don't have a modern phone with which to experiment.

I would say face ID works for me about 50% of the time. for reasons unclear to 
me, sometimes it will just completely not recognize my face and I have to reset 
it. One thing that has helped me is to also set up the alternate face ID so 
that essentially, it has two copies of my face. I know people say that it 
should not matter if you are in a light or dark environment, but in my very 
dark bedroom, it rarely recognizes my face. it certainly has gotten a lot 
better with practice, but I don’t have quite the luck that Sieghard has had, 
despite setting mine up per the instructions given on this list about six 
months ago.

    Why don't  you use Face Id, for me it works better than Touch Id ever did, 
but of course that is partly because I do at time use my hands for physical 
labour like woodworking, gardening and so on and whenever I put in a day in my 
woodworking shop I could forget Touch Id for the next 2 or 3 days until either 
the glue came off my fingers and/or all the little cuts and scraps had heeled. 
Face Id is actually more secure than Touch Id and it works for me I would say 
about 96 or 98% of the time. I do have th attention feature turned off I should 
add, it makes it maybe slightly less secure, but both my eyes are prosthetic 
and I often do not have them in at night. I have no issue with Face I d with 
the attention feature enabled, but it will not work if it doesn't see the eyes 
whereas it works just fine even in absolute darkness with that feature 
disabled..

    on my old phones with home buttons, I really enjoyed touch ID. I don't 
think there is such a thing now with the newer phones that don't have a home 
button. I just use a pass code. Esther

                Hello,

                A couple of things to try:

                * Try holding it at arms-length away from your face, straight 
out in front

                of you.

                * If you are wearing glasses, try with them off.

                * If you did not register face ID that way, try registering it 
again.

                * Try using a microfiber cloth to wipe off the screen. 
Sometimes, skin

                oils can cause interference, if you hold the phone up to your 
ear while on

                a call.

                * Note that, on device reboot, you will certainly need to enter 
your pin

                again.

                If none of these things help, I would probably go back to where 
you bought

                it, or reach out to Apple, as it may be a hardware issue.

                    Hi all,

                    Subject pretty much says it all. I just bought an iPhone 13 
mini and have

                    set up Face ID with no difficulty; however, it seems that 
it'll work two

                    or three times and then will require me to use my pass code 
to unlock my

                    phone. I am getting very tempted to put my SIM card back in 
my SE 20 lol.

                    It's much easier to just reach over and unlock it with my 
finger than to

                    pick up my mini and hope I can get it to unlock without 
having to type in

                    my pass code. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks 
for reading.
