In turn I hate to say this since I don't want to make you or anybody feel bad, but I never had any issue gretting Face I dto recognize me once set up. Do I sometimes get the message that it didn't work and to try again, yes, absolutely, but it's literally happening maybe once in 20 uses if that. I sometimes wake up at night lying on my side and I grab my iPhone to check the time or whatever and I just swipe up, sort of turn my head to glance in the direction of the phone and it just works for me. The one thing which I find I can do to make it not work consistently is to hold the phone too close to my face, but by too close I mean literally 4 or 6 inches away, I find anything 10 inches or more up to as far as you can stretch your arm and still comfortably hold your phone works fine. My recommendation would be to maybe get a sighted person to observe you as you try to unlock with Face Id to see if you somehow hold the phone on an angle where it is not pointing towards your face.
From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Sandra Finley Sent: Tuesday, August 1, 2023 4:01 AM To: iPhone List <[email protected]> Subject: A Proglem Unique to Blind People I hate to admit this, but if I can’t ask fellow blind folks, then what is the point of a list like this? I have never mastered the use of facial recognition. I was able to follow the directions given to set up face ID fine. The problem I continue to have is how to hold my phone up to my face so that my fade is recognized. Several months ato I just stopped trying and have been using my password instead, but I am now determined to figure this out. How did some of you learn how to do this?
