Apple can solve our Face ID mask woes by stealing one of Android’s best features<article>
<section class="page">
<p>If you own an iPhone X or later and have gone out into the world recently, you probably noticed an unfortunate side effect of the new mask-wearing culture: Face ID doesn’t work.</p><p>It is more of a feature than a bug, but the fact of the matter is that if Apple’s True Depth camera system can’t scan your whole face, it won’t unlock your phone. If you’re wearing a mask like most stores and restaurants require, you’re left typing in your passcode whenever you want to check your shopping list or pay your bill.</p><p>Apple offered up a workaround with the
recent iOS 13.5 update, but it’s hardly a fix. Now, instead of waiting for Face ID to fail a couple times before the passcode screen pops up, you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen to quickly enter your code. That makes things a little less infuriating, but still not ideal.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3545476/apple-face-id-mask-android-smart-lock-auto-unlock.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
