Nothing stopping them from holding it up to your face to unlock it, though, right?

- ceejayoz 5y agoCorrect. Five clicks of the sleep/wake button will disable Face ID temporarily. If you're prone to keeping incriminating stuff on the phone, you should probably have it off entirely.
- angulardragon03 5y agoYou can also just hold power + a volume button until you get the "power off" dialog, which also disables FaceID until the next time you enter your passcode.
- r00fus 5y agoThere's no "if" statement required. Everyone should disable their phone when encountering law enforcement unless they're using it to record (and it's a burner). Who knows how corrupt that particular LE is and what agenda they are following.
- ceejayoz 5y agoYes. People more likely to encounter law enforcement in surprise, break-down-the-door scenarios where the cops might have a vested interest in keeping you away from the phone should probably forgo Face/Touch ID entirely, though.
