There is also an option Attention required for Face ID†This is actually a safety feature. The TrueDepth camera checks whether you are in the smartphone camera looks. If someone takes your device and tries to unlock it by holding it in front of your face, it’s best to close your eyes.
Configure
The reset takes little time and set up only takes a few minutes. Tap the option Reset Face ID and then the button Configure Face ID†Stand in a room with enough light and make sure your face is not covered by a hat, scarf, sunglasses…

Face ID is smart and will even recognize you if you’ve started wearing glasses or switched to contact lenses. Only if you wear a mouth mask, the facial recognition does not work.
You can also add a second Face ID. This way you can still use Face ID during your hobby as a CliniClown or if you wear flashy sunglasses. Or you add the face of your partner or child.
Finally, go through the Settings to Face ID and access code†Choose the option here Configure a different look and register the second sight. Now you have – literally – multiple faces! Yes, on your iPhone, but that was the intention.
