Through Face ID
With a smartphone Apple, the user can not be afraid to forget the password from the gadget, because his 'password' is with him. Bring your face to the front camera to access the device. How to unlock iPhone X using Face ID:
- touch the screen or bring it to your face;
- look at the device;
- finish unlocking by swiping the animated icon.
Face ID is also used for secure transactions. Enter bank card numbers for use by default, then take the identification test and pay for purchases.
Check your settings
When you turn on your smartphone for the first time, make the security settings. Go to the Face ID application → if necessary, enter the 'Passcode' → 'Settings' → turn the smartphone with the front camera to face, click 'Proceed'.
A round scanner window will open, make sure that the face is in the middle of the frame. To obtain a detailed digital print, make a circular motion with your head. If the app doesn't take action, click Accessibility Options. After that, you will have to repeat the same movement with your head, but in the other direction.
