What you need to do to unlock Face ID even when wearing a mask

Wearing a mask and unlocking iPhone with Face ID is a difficult experience. That was before, but now you can easily open Face ID with a simple operation.

FaceID, the British facial recognition technology, needs to see a user's eyes, nose and mouth in order to work. This mechanism clearly creates a problem for those who wear masks regularly, in public places. The latest version of the iPhone's operating system, iOS 13.5, has been released to partially eliminate this discomfort.

Accordingly, after installing the update, users will no longer need to wait for FaceID to try and fail several times before being transferred to the screen asking for a password. Currently, right after FaceID fails to recognize a face for the first time or when the user swipes up from the bottom of the screen, the user will be immediately switched to the password entry screen.

Now, users can enable Face ID or turn off this feature, at least in the time of wearing a mask is still a mandatory regulation in many places and a thing to do because of the disease.

With iOS 13.5 users don't have to make any changes, FaceID will only try to recognize your face once before switching to asking for a password. Besides, you can also swipe up from the bottom of the screen to immediately switch to the traditional password input screen. At this time, the interaction via FaceID is not needed and the phone is still secure.
