Hi Donna, Thanks for the pointers. I will give it a try later today after I get a few things taken care of around the house. When I did the set up yesterday, and the screen for face recognition came up I did try holding my arm out at around face level, but it didn’t seem to see my face. So for sanity’s sake I skipped over that part.
I remember one message from another person on this list, can’t remember who it was, but they did say they held the phone at some crazy angle. Hopefully I’ll get it working soon.

Setting up Face recognition isn't that hard. The first time you do it, it may feel impossible, but if you pay close attention to what your phone is telling you, you can probably do it yourself with little trouble. someone else posted on the list to remember to make small movements with your head. That turned out to be very helpful. I started with a small movement, and if that wasn't sufficient, the phone would say something like "Turn your head up." I would then know that I needed to move it further in the direction the phone was indicating. Just thought I'd mention this in case you want to give it a try.

I did call Apple Accessibility to ask for assistance since I wanted to be sure everything went smoothly. The tech person did a screen sharing session with me on my IPhone 6 since the new phone wasn’t set up screen sharing could not be done on the X directly. We did the screen sharing and he had me launch the camera so in turn I held the 6 above the 10 and he was able to view the screen on the new 10. For the most part, it worked out very well. The thing I found most frustrating is that the X would lock in a very short time and it kept requiring reentry of my pass code numerous times. I found this added unnecessarily to the time it took to set up the phone. When the phone was finally up and running and I checked out settings, I found it was set to lock after only 30 seconds. During setup I also skipped the facial recognition. I need to go to an Apple store later in the week since I’ll need a new outerbox and screen protector so I think I’ll ask for assistance then in setting up the facial recognition. So far the phone seems lovely and its a matter of getting use to new ways of unlocking, going to the home screen and the app switcher which don’t seem difficult at all. I am finding right now the phone is very fast and very responsive. I’m sure I’ll find other things where I’ll need to alter how I do things but as of now I am very happy with what I’m experiencing with this phone.
