That sounds like a good point, Anna. For some reason, the guy at Wal-Mart could not get mine set up.
I went outside in bright sun at about 3 P.M. on a January afternoon and got mine without one bit of trouble. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Anna Dresner Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2020 3:45 PM To: VIPhone Mailing List <viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: Face I.D Hi, On the iPhone X, I found that if I had a lot of light available when setting up the scan, Face ID worked better, presumably because it got a better scan. You don't have to have any light at all when scanning for Face ID, but it may help when doing the initial scans.

Note though that this should be disabled / off if you have voiceover on from the start of setup. The other thing I’ve found glair from the sun can affect the face id also, As well as not pointing it directly towards your face. Hope this helps.

More often than not, I cannot get Face I.D to work. Sometimes it works when I do not expect it to do so, other times, it’s just the opposite. I cannot consistently create situations where I can identify what my issue is with this feature. I have had a few discussions with Apple Accessibility. I have removed and reset up Face ID, I even removed my app settings before setting up Face I.D. The problem persists. So my questions are these. For those of you using Face I.D, on a percentage basis, how often would you say that Face I.D works for you. Second question, if it works the majority of the time, what method did you use to bring this about? Thanks for the assist on this one.
