How to set up Face ID on your iPhone
Configure Face ID on your new iPhone to enable secure biometric authentication for unlocking, payments, and app access.
- Navigate to Face ID settings. Open the Settings app from your Home Screen. Scroll down and tap Face ID & Passcode, then enter your device passcode when prompted.
- Start the registration process. Tap Set Up Face ID. Your iPhone will open the camera interface to begin mapping your facial structure.
- Record your face. Position your face within the frame shown on the display. Gently move your head in a circular motion to allow the TrueDepth camera system to capture all angles of your face.
- Complete the first scan. Once the first scan is complete, tap Continue. Repeat the circular head motion for the second scan to finalize the biometric profile.
- Apply settings and finish. After the second scan, tap Done. Your iPhone is now configured to use Face ID for unlocking, Apple Pay, and password autofill.
