How often has your sister used your phone? When she attempts to open the phone the first time, did you open it for her, or did she look at the phone and then enter the passcode? If she was looking at the Face ID and you provided her with the passcode, then the Face ID has learned a compilation of your face and hers through the use of the passcode. With Face ID activated, you should not allow others to open your phone with the passcode while looking at the screen. You need to reset Face ID and then activate it again with your face. Then if someone else wishes to use your device, you need to unlock it and hand it to them, and not let them look at the phone and unlock it with the passcode. That is how Face ID learns changes to your face as well.
Face Unlock: Registration You have to register your facial geometry — in other words, scan in the data — in order to set up and start using Face ID or Face Unlock for authentication. Apple's interface for this is really elegant. Tap to get started.

© Provided by Mashable How to unlock your iPhone with Face ID while wearing a maskI have good news and bad news about Apple's new Face ID feature that was released as part of the developer beta for iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4.
The good news? You'll soon be able to unlock your iPhone via Face ID while wearing a face mask. The bad news? It only works if you own an Apple Watch.
So if you have both of these devices, congrats — you can cross one first-world problem off of your list. And if you don't, there are other workarounds, like simply typing in your passcode.
Here's how to set up the new feature once the final versions of iOS and watchOS are released to the public.
1. Make sure your iPhone and Apple Watch are up to date
As of right now, the only way you can download iOS 14.5 and watchOS 7.4 is if you're enrolled in the Apple Developer Program.
Otherwise, you'll have to wait until Apple releases the public versions. The company remains tight-lipped on when that'll actually be. But based on past developer beta and public release cycles, it'll likely be a few months from now.
When it is released, open your iPhone, head to Settings > General > Software Update, and tap on iOS 14.5. Once that's downloaded and installed on your phone, you can move on to updating your Apple Watch.
With the Apple Watch, you have two options: You can either download it from the Watch app on your iPhone or right from your wrist on the Apple Watch.
iPhone
Go to the Watch app > General > Software Update and download watchOS 7.4.
Apple Watch
Head to Settings > General > Software Update and tap to install the new software.
2. Turn on the 'Unlock with Apple Watch' feature
Once both of your devices are updated, you can turn the new feature on.
On your iPhone, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Unlock with Apple Watch and toggle it on.
There are also a few tweaks you'll have to make (if you don't already have these things turned on) to your Settings on the Apple Watch. Otherwise, the feature won't work at all.
To enable a Passcode on your Apple Watch, go to Settings > Passcode > Turn Passcode on and type in your chosen code.
Make sure 'Wrist Detection' is toggled on. It should turn on automatically when you set up your Passcode since it uses the feature to determine when to lock the Apple Watch. But it's always good to double check.
3. Unlock your iPhone using your Apple Watch
Now, unlocking your iPhone using Face ID while wearing a face mask should be super simple.
As long as your Apple Watch is on your wrist, the iPhone will recognize it and immediately proceed to unlock. You'll feel the Watch buzz on your wrist and a notification will appear on it letting you know the iPhone has been unlocked. A button to lock the iPhone will also appear underneath that notification.
As for those workarounds I mentioned before, you can do one of the following:
Turn off Face ID:
Software macbook pro free download. Go to Settings > Face ID and disable 'iPhone Unlock.' You can either choose to go completely passcode-free or strictly rely on your custom numeric code
Hack the system:
If you're really set on getting your iPhone to work with a face mask, you can attempt to trick the Face ID feature instead. Cover half your mouth with a mask, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Set up an Alternate Appearance, and scan an alternate Face ID appearance.
Apple Facetime
Again, this official Apple Watch / Face ID feature isn't available for everyone just yet — it's only available as a developer beta. Until it's publicly released, you're stuck being unrecognizable to your iPhone until you enter that passcode.
