On an iPhone with FaceID, you can adjust FaceID and attention settings if you have physical or vision limitations.
Set up Face ID with Accessibility Options
Setting up FaceID usually requires you to gently move your head in a circle to show all the angles of your face. If you can’t perform the full range of head motion, you can still set up FaceID without moving your head.
Go to Settings
> FaceID & Passcode.Position your face within the frame, then tap Accessibility Options.
> FaceID & Passcode.FaceID is still secure but requires more consistency when you unlock iPhone.
Change attention settings
For additional security, FaceID is attention-aware. It unlocks iPhone only when your eyes are open and looking at the screen. iPhone can also reveal notifications and messages, keep the screen lit when you’re reading, or lower the volume of alerts.
If you don’t want iPhone to check for your attention, do the following:
Go to Settings
> FaceID & Passcode.Turn on or off any of the following:
Require Attention for FaceID
Attention Aware Features
These settings are turned off by default if you turn on VoiceOver when you first set up iPhone.
Note: Requiring attention makes FaceID more secure.
