Apple iPhone Face ID Repairs
Most people store the majority of their life on their smartphone or device, which means keeping that data and information safe and secure is of top priority. One of the ways that Apple allows you to protect your data and information is through Face ID.
Face ID is a simple and secure method of security that stops unauthorized access to your phone. The technology scans your face and recognizes the geometry of your face to successfully unlock your phone. This technology also allows you to make purchases in apps and in the store and allows you to make payments.
As you can see, Face ID is pretty simple and offers you that extra layer of protection you need to ensure your phone and the data within it is stored safely.
But what happens when your Face ID is not working?
If Face ID stops working on your phone, you may be locked out of your phone or find that you continue to receive errors when you attempt to unlock the device. This can be extremely frustrating. If you know the passcode on your phone, you can get into it by typing it in, but the point of having Face ID is to avoid having to constantly type in a passcode.
Fortunately, many of the reasons why your Face ID is not working can be repaired and are not serious. Below, we will discuss what causes Face ID to stop working and what repair options are available to you.
Why Does Face ID Stop Working?
The reason your Face ID technology is not working can be something very simple or it could be something a bit more serious.
While it is inconvenient and frustrating for Face ID to stop working, here are some reasons why it may stop:
- Incorrect Face ID settings
- Update is needed
- Face is blocked
- Camera is covered
- Restart is needed
- Appearance is different than the initial setup appearance
- Reset of Face ID is required
Will Face ID Work If My Face Is Covered?
Yes and no. In general, Face ID will work if you are wearing glasses. It is possible that Face ID will not recognize you with sunglasses on as some of them can interfere with the operation of the technology. If you find that Face ID is not working with your sunglasses on, simply take them off and try again.
You also want to make sure that your mouth, eyes, and nose are not covered when you use Face ID as this will cause it to not work.
To ensure Face ID works properly, you should always make sure your face is free from any obstructions. If you do change your appearance drastically (i.e. makeup or hair color), you should set up an alternate appearance so that Face ID will continue to recognize you.
