The Usefulness of Face ID
Face ID is a clever technology from Apple that works by looking at your face. It's like a digital key that only you have. Face ID is built into the iPhone X and later models, and also into some iPads , such as the newer iPad Pros . With Face ID, you can securely unlock your device, log in to apps, and even make secure purchases with Apple Pay without having to type a password. It's like a magic trick: you simply look at your device and it opens for you!Step-by-step guide to setting up Face ID
