Face ID doesn't work very well in the dark, and it's especially awful if you're lying on your side using an iPad in bed in the dark, since the angle is wrong.

Face ID doesn't work very well in the dark, and it's especially awful if you're lying on your side using an iPad in bed in the dark, since the angle is wrong.
Touch ID was markedly superior in contexts like this, in addition to being easier to activate.
- scarface_74 4y agoFaceId works perfectly in pitch darkness. I just tried it.
- Angostura 4y agoNever had a problem with FaceID in the dark and I lie in bed on my side
- busymom0 4y agoIt works perfectly fine in dark. I use it every night. It uses a very different tech than just a simple camera.
- themadturk 4y agoFaceID works great in the dark (I'm always surprised at how well) and at angles (as long as I'm holding the phone to match the angle of my face, which seems pretty natural to me).
- Bud 4y agoPhone yes. iPad that you are not holding in-hand the entire time so it directly faces you, not so much.
- themadturk 4y agoWell, good point. I have a Mini 6, and it doesn't have face ID (and I don't use it in bed).
