iPhone X comes with Face ID, a new facial recognition system that Apple implemented specifically to convince us to leave Touch ID behind, but for some that might be difficult. Yesterday an iDevice.ro user asked me if Face ID also works when the phone is tilted, Touch ID being able to be used without problems in these conditions, but Face ID is not really that versatile on the iPhone X.
iPhone X will refuse to do facial recognition through Face ID if the phone is tilted, or even if we hold it upside down. the TrueDepth camera in the iPhone X refuses to start facial recognition through Face ID until the phone is placed in a certain position, so if you use it behind the wheel as a GPS, and at some point it gets blocked for some reason , or other, you cannot unlock it tilted.
This is a shortcoming compared to Touch ID, and this is because the fingerprint is read no matter how we hold the phone, but Face ID refuses to work under these conditions. The Apple company did not explain this when it launched the iPhone X, but it is good to know that Face ID only works when we hold the phone straight in front of our face, so now you know under what conditions you must use it correctly.
