Use Face ID with a mask

In the absence of treatment, barrier actions remain the most effective protections to fight against the coronavirus. But now, it seems that wearing a mask disrupts the functioning of a Face ID recognition system on the iPhone. Fortunately, there is a simple solution to unlock your iPhone while wearing a protective mask..

Use Face ID with a mask

The coronavirus crisis is far from over. The virus continues to circulate in the population. The reproduction rate even goes up in certain regions. Social distancing, wearing a mask and regular hand washing help limit the transmission of the virus.

Even if it is not obligatory the wearing of the mask is strongly recommended in the public space. In fact, certain signs and large surfaces require it to enter their establishments. This is also the case in public transport..

Problem, unlocking your iPhone while wearing a mask is almost mission impossible. Indeed, the iPhone's facial recognition system only works if your eyes, mouth and nose are visible. Obviously, this creates a big problem for all Face ID users.

They are then forced to wait for the five facial recognition attempts to fail and enter their access code to finally unlock their phone..
