Yes, that's one of the occasions where I have noticed it not working well. I guess it just depends on how often you do that and how annoying you find it to have to lift the phone up a bit. Not a big deal for me.
- zionic 7y agoOr having to remove your sunglasses, or when you have a face mask on, or when the ambient sunlight/IR is too high for the sensor to read the tracking dots it projects on your face. FaceID introduced a huge swath of new failure modes while simultaneously reducing security. Not acceptable.
- DangerousPie 7y agoYes, I will admit that it's not great with a face mask. But then that wasn't really an issue until a few weeks ago. Never had problems with glasses or too much sunlight but that might just be a perk of living in a country that's not particularly sunny.
- altec3 7y agoFaceID works totally fine with your sunglasses on and in bright light... It does fail if you have a mask on, if you have goggles covering half your face, or if you have a helmet that covers your face... but to me that is all completely understandable.
- dkonofalski 7y agoAnd also something that you can partially alleviate with alternative appearances in the FaceID settings, depending on how much of your face you're covering.
- whynaut 7y agoSeems comparable to: - not working with gloves on - not working when too hot (sweat) or too cold (?) - changing your grip to get a good print placement
