How to Set Up an Alternate Appearance on iPhone or iPad

iPhone X and up offers a feature called Face ID which allows you to unlock and control your phone with a quick scan of your face. You can add the facial recognition of one other person or improve facial recognition after setting up Face ID with/without glasses if you have iOS 12 or later installed onto your iPhone X and iPad Pro 2018 or later.

Steps

  1. 1
    Make sure that you have your own Face ID already set up. You cannot set up an additional face without having your own already implemented on your phone.
