The iPhone 12 has some impressive security features that can keep your device and personal information safe from unwarranted access. One such feature is the face recognition technology, known as the Face ID.
In this article, we’ll walk you through the process of setting up your iPhone 12 Face ID, as well as other security features that you can use to protect your device and data.
Setting up Face ID
To set up Face ID, follow these steps:
Step 1: Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode, enter your passcode when prompted.
Step 2: Tap on “Set Up Face ID.”
Step 3: Hold the device as you normally would when unlocking your phone and position your face within the frame on the screen. Make sure your face is clearly visible and well-lit.
Step 4: Follow the on-screen instructions and rotate your head in a circular motion as the camera captures your face. This will help to create a complete 3D map of your face.
Step 5: Once you have completed the process, tap “Done.”
That’s it! You have set up Face ID on your iPhone 12. From now on, simply lift your phone or tap the screen to wake it up, and your phone should automatically recognize your face and unlock.
Other Security Features
Besides Face ID, there are other security features that you can use to protect your device and personal data.
1. Passcode: A passcode is a basic security feature that requires you to enter a code to access your phone. You can set up a passcode by going to Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Passcode > Change Passcode.
2. Touch ID: If you have an iPhone SE or older, you can use Touch ID instead of Face ID to unlock your phone. To set up Touch ID, go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode.
3. Find My: Find My is an app that allows you to locate your lost or stolen iPhone. You can sign in to Find My with your Apple ID and password, and then enable Find My iPhone. This will allow you to track your iPhone’s location, lock your phone remotely and erase your data if necessary.
4. Restrictions: You can use Restrictions to limit the access that apps and features have on your phone. To set up Restrictions, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions.
