How Does Face ID Work On iPhone?

Powered By TrueDepth Camera:

iPhones use a special TrueDepth camera to scan your face.

Creates A 3D Face Map:

Thousands of invisible dots map your face in detail.

Reads Depth And Features:

Infrared sensors detect shape, texture and depth accurately

Data Stored Securely:

Your face data stays inside Apple’s Secure Enclave, not online.

Not Fooled By Photos:

Face ID checks depth and movement, not just images.

Works Even In Darkness:

It uses infrared tech, so lighting doesn’t affect it.

Adapts To Your Look:

One of the great things is that it learns changes like beard, glasses or ageing over time.

Works With Masks Too:

Recognises eyes and upper face for quick unlocking.

More Than Just Unlocking:

It is used for payments, apps & passwords. Apple says chances of a wrong unlock are extremely low
