how to add face id to iphone

Open Settings on your iPhone, tap Face ID & Passcode, enter your passcode, then tap Set Up Face ID and follow the on-screen face scan steps. Apple says you can also add an Alternate Appearance from the same menu if you want to recognize a second look or a different person on the device.

Steps

1. Go to Settings.
2. Tap Face ID & Passcode.
3. Enter your passcode.
4. Tap Set Up Face ID.
5. Hold the iPhone in portrait and position your face in the frame.
6. Slowly move your head in a circle for the first scan.
7. Tap Continue and repeat for the second scan.
8. Tap Done when finished.

Useful notes

• Your iPhone needs a passcode before Face ID can be set up.

• You can turn on Face ID for unlocking, purchases, payments, and supported apps from the same menu.

• If you already set it up, look for Set Up an Alternate Appearance in Face ID & Passcode.

Quick fix if it fails

• Make sure your face is centered and well lit.
• Remove anything blocking your face, like a mask or heavy sunglasses, unless you’re using a mask-friendly setup.
• If the phone says it can’t complete the scan, try again from the beginning.
