iPhone faceid doesn’t use camera, it uses rays to detect face shape so light doesn’t matter

It does actually matter, just in the opposite way. Since it uses IR it can get overwhelmed when there’s too much IR, which can happen in direct sunlight depending on the angle between the phone and sun.

Having glasses on doesn’t help too

Only sunglasses can be a problem

Don’t know about sunglasses, but wearing regular glasses I constantly get troubles unlocking the phone with a direct sunlight on my face.

There is a setting for setting up Face ID with glasses.

I have no problems with glasses and faceid. Both regular glasses and sun glasses work without any problems.

Yeah same here. I just did the second scan to include the sunglasses and have zero issues with it
