Fazil, I might suggest to you that you put in the other face ID. There are two places that you can set up Face ID apparently it’s for someone else that might be using your phone. However, I found that it works even better if I set it up with both Face ID places. Hope this helps. Both the face ID and the swipe up from the bottom are hard to get used to and hard to do at first especially if you’re totally blind, but they do work and Apple has greatly improved Face ID. When I had a iPhone X it worked probably 80% of the time or 90% of the time. Now unless I don’t pull it up to my face fast enough it works about 95 to 98% of the time. The biggest thing that I have had to get used to is that Face ID pops up more often on apps such as my banking app suddenly and I don’t have the position correctly. Now I try to keep it in position as much as I can if I know that there’s a chance that Face ID will come up. I had trouble with my SE 2020 and the fingerprint sensor I think it worked probably 60% of the time. This probably was because my fingers tend to be quite dry and at times cracked. However Face ID as I said now works with my iPhone 12 probably 95 to 98% of the time.

On the Sunny afternoon on last Sunday, I sat by my living-room-window with the Sun behind me, and reset the Face ID there. Next time I raised the phone to the level of my forehead, kept it a foot or so away from it and pushed the Side-button, wala! The phone was unlocked with face ID! It worked eighty percent of the time now. I have also learned the required gesture. Thank you very much to all of you for being patient with me and for being so much helpful. I love this group.

When Face Id first was introduced, I think it was the iPhone X, I want to an Apple Store and while their demo device didn't allow me to fully set it up, it had a sort of simulation mode and I was able to get at least an idea and I certainly got a good idea about the home screen and app switcher gestures which the Apple rep I dealt with very patiently explained to me and let me practice them. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Fazil M.

After I had my phone a few days, I decided to see what I could do, and the mission was a success. I don't know why he couldn't. It probably has something to do with me being totally blind, but, exactly why, I have no idea. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Sunday, January 2, 2022 12:49 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Face ID Revisited There is no need for sunshine, just do it in normal indoor lighting and it's fine. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Carolyn Sent: January 1, 2022 2:12 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Face ID Revisited I set mine up in bright, afternoon sunshine on the west side of the building one afternoon.

I have mastered the gestures to get to things without the home button, but face ID continues to bedevil me. Interestingly, sometimes it will work with no problem and I have no idea why, but mostly, I cannot unlock my phone using my face. I have attention turned off and like you, I have successfully gone through the training exercise multiple times, with and without sighted help, which ends with a message that face ID was successfully set up, but for reasons I can’t understand, mostly it does not work. I have only had the phone for 3 days and I know that other blind people out there with prosthetic eyes are doing face ID successfully, so I refuse to give up, but I admit it is quite frustrating since I love everything else about my 13 Pro. I have even reset the face ID several times in different light and dark situations, with and without sighted help, and even set up an alternate face, but still no joy. Also, it is very hard to get the keypad to come up to enter the passcode. You will have to learn the new gestures for getting to the home screen, control center, app switcher, etc., but I did not find that very difficult after practice. I know that I have to embrace change and except new things, and again, I like this bigger phone and I love the battery life compared to my iPhone 8, so I don’t want to go back to that phone again, but I hate using a passcode to authenticate, so I am really hoping that I can get this worked out. I wish us both patience and good luck. LOL. Sent from my iPhone On Jan 1, 2022, at 12:12 PM, Fazil M. <mfa...@outlook.com> wrote: Hi Group. I am having problem with using Face ID to unlock my iPhone12. I successfully complete two steps of setting up face ID and double tapped Done Button and iPhone says face ID is ready to use.
