Adding Another Face to Face ID
If you have an iPhone X or one of the new iPad Pros you are getting familiar with Face ID. I have been using it with my iPhone X and love it. One of the biggest drawbacks is when I want Grace to use my phone while I am driving.
Touch ID lets users register up to five fingers that can unlock an iPhone, which has long been a boon for those who share access to their iPhone with trusted family members. However, users of the iPhone X haven’t been able to give a second person Face ID-based access, forcing those people to wait for Face ID to fail and then tap in a passcode manually.
iOS 12 lifts that limitation, allowing a second person to register their face with Face ID on the iPhone X and the new iPhone XR, XS, and XS Max. To set this up, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode. Enter your passcode and tap Set Up an Alternate Appearance. Then give your iPhone to the person who should have access and have them follow the simple setup directions. This is also handy for those of you that wear disguises, you know, all you spies and clowns.
