Yes, I am looking at the Iphone's screen, not at the back camera, I ad sighted person checking it when I was trying to unlock the phone with Face ID. I can't tell how far away I hold the phone (not too close), but they said I hold it fine.
The attention feature is turned off.

So what exactly happens and what exactly do you do? Let's say your phone is 
locked, what are your steps?
Just to make sure you are looking at the iPhone's screen and not the back of 
the phone where the back camera lens is, correct?
How far away do you hold the phone when you try Face Id?
Do you have the attention feature turned on or off?

Yes, I had someone sighted help me, I managed to set it up on my own, sighted 
person was watching if I did it right, but no success to unlock the phone.

Have you had a sighted friend or family member who is somewhat technically 
knowledgeable help you with this? I would be curious if somebody were to watch 
you as you do this what they would notice.

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 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.

                      It's much easier to just reach over and unlock

without having to type in
