How to Use Face ID on the iPhone 14
Posted on 16th June 2023
What is Face ID?
Face ID is a facial recognition security feature that first debuted on the iPhone X in 2017. Face ID uses a combination of hardware and software to map your facial features and unlock your device. Face ID is more secure than Touch ID, as it is more difficult to spoof your facial features than your fingerprint.
How to Set Up Face ID
To set up Face ID, you will need to have a passcode set up on your device. If you do not have a passcode, you can set one up by going to Settings > Face ID & Passcode. Once you have a passcode set up, you can follow these steps to set up Face ID:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap Face ID & Passcode.
- Tap Set Up Face ID.
- Position your face in front of your iPhone so that your face is inside the circle.
- When you are ready, tap Get Started.
- Slowly move your head to complete a 360-degree scan of your face.
- When the scan is complete, tap Done.
How to Use Face ID
Once you have Face ID set up, you can use it to unlock your iPhone, authenticate Apple Pay purchases, and more. To use Face ID to unlock your iPhone, simply pick up your iPhone and look at it. You will notice a small padlock icon at the top of the screen. This means that Face ID is active and ready to be used. When you look at your iPhone, Face ID will scan your face and unlock your device.
How to Disable Face ID
If you want to disable Face ID, you can do so by going to Settings > Face ID & Passcode and tapping the Disable Face ID button. You will need to enter your passcode to confirm that you want to disable Face ID. Once Face ID is disabled, you will need to use your passcode to unlock your device.

Here are some tips for using Face ID on your iPhone 14:
– Make sure that your face is well-lit and that your iPhone is at about eye level.
– If you’re wearing a mask, you can still use Face ID if you’re wearing a fitted mask that doesn’t cover your nose and mouth. If you’re wearing a loose-fitting mask, you’ll need to enter your passcode.
– If you have an iPhone with a Home button, you can still use Face ID. Just make sure that your face is directly in front of the phone.
– If you have an iPhone with an OLED display, you can use Face ID in low-light conditions.
– If you’re in a situation where you can’t use Face ID, you can always enter your passcode.
Assuming you have set up Face ID, using it is easy. Just wake your iPhone and glance at it. You’ll know Face ID is working because the lock icon at the top of the screen will open to reveal your notifications. If Face ID doesn’t recognize you, it will require your passcode.
