To set up Face ID, open Settings > Face ID & Passcode, enter or create an iPhone passcode, then tap Set Up Face ID and complete the two guided scans. After enrollment, choose which supported features use Face ID and review the passcode, attention, locked-screen, and optional theft-protection controls on your device.
Set up Face ID
- Open the settings page. Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode. Enter your current iPhone passcode if asked. Face ID requires a device passcode; if you have not created one, set one up when prompted.
- Start enrollment. Tap Set Up Face ID and follow the on-screen instructions. Apple recommends a well-lit area. Hold the iPhone upright in portrait orientation and position your face inside the frame.
- Complete both scans. Move your head as directed until the first scan finishes, tap Continue, then complete the second scan and tap Done.
- Choose Face ID uses. On the Face ID settings screen, turn on Face ID for the supported functions you want. Depending on your device and software, these can include unlocking iPhone, authorizing purchases and payments, and signing in to apps.
Face ID does not replace your passcode. You will still use the passcode in some situations, including when the iPhone requests it as an alternative verification method. Follow the labels and prompts shown on your own iPhone because available options vary by model and iOS version. See Apple’s Face ID setup guide and overview of Face ID.

Choose attention and accessibility settings
With Require Attention for Face ID enabled, Face ID checks that your eyes are open and looking at the screen before unlocking. Apple says requiring attention makes Face ID more secure. Some users may need to change this setting for accessibility; disabling the attention requirement may make unlocking easier for them, but removes that check. Review Face ID and attention controls in Settings > Face ID & Passcode; the exact labels and options can vary. Apple’s attention settings guide explains the related controls.
If you cannot make the full head movement used for enrollment, Apple provides an Accessibility Options path to begin Face ID setup without that movement. Apple cautions that unlocking this way requires more consistency. The option appears during enrollment; follow the prompts on your device.

Review passcode and locked-screen controls
In Settings > Face ID & Passcode, you can change your passcode and decide which information or functions remain accessible while the iPhone is locked. Depending on the model and software, the choices may include:
- Today View and Notification Centre
- Control Centre and Siri
- Reply with Message and returning missed calls
- Home Control and Wallet
- USB accessories
Allowing more access can be convenient; turning off access to items you do not need while locked can better protect your privacy. Not every option appears on every iPhone or iOS version. Apple also notes that some immediate-passcode requirements cannot be changed when Face ID, Touch ID, or Apple Pay is in use. For the available passcode controls, see Apple’s iPhone passcode guide.

Consider Stolen Device Protection
Stolen Device Protection is a separate, optional safeguard intended to help if someone steals an iPhone and knows its passcode. For certain sensitive actions, it can require Face ID or Touch ID without allowing the passcode as a fallback. Other actions may require a successful biometric check, a one-hour security delay, and a second biometric check.
To review it, open Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Stolen Device Protection. Apple offers a setting that applies the protections when the iPhone is away from familiar locations, as well as an Always option. Applying them everywhere can mean security delays even in familiar places. Apple lists a passcode, Face ID or Touch ID, Apple Account two-factor authentication, Find My, and Location Services/Significant Locations among the prerequisites. The feature requires iOS 17.3 or later; the available choices may vary with software version. Details are in Apple’s Stolen Device Protection overview and setup guide.

Know what Face ID supports and how Apple describes its data handling
Apple says Face ID data is encrypted and protected by the Secure Enclave, never leaves the device, and is not saved to iCloud. This is Apple’s description of how its system handles Face ID data.
Some capabilities depend on the iPhone model and iOS version. For example, Face ID with a Mask requires iPhone 12 or later and iOS 15.4 or later, works only in portrait orientation, and is not available on iPad. These limits apply to that feature, not necessarily to every Face ID function. See Apple’s Face ID compatibility and usage information.
