When I just wake up it sometimes doesn't recognize my face - this is true, and kinda funny.

Try setting an alternate appearance when you wake up, really helps. FaceID recognises my face inside a motorcycle helmet too, so I’d say it’s pretty good

I have noticed that too. But, I thought it is because my eyes are not open as much as the iPhone likes. It works after I force my eyes to open wide 😅

Curious, do you wear prescription glasses or contacts?

I wear glasses

So this has been true for everyone that I’ve asked to try but next morning, try and focus on how close you’re holding your phone when Face ID doesn’t work. Because it’s most likely that it’s just too close to your face (because you wear glasses and prob check your phone before putting them on) Otherwise there should be no reason your phone “doesn’t recognize” you in the morning. Your eyes being a bit puff or whatever doesn’t impact it.

I don’t believe it’s that Face ID doesn’t recognize you in the morning, it’s that you’re holding your phone way too close and thus it won’t work.

(I don’t mean to come off rude or condescending btw just genuinely trying to help 🙂)
