FYI this update messed up faceid. Had to fiddle with its settings to get it back to workβ¦
Reading apple forums it seems it rarely happens with updates on specific devices with supposedly faulty sensors. Faulty like in not 100%.
My iPhone was repaired with full screen replacement when I bought it refurbished, I guess itβs a warning shot πββοΈ
"messed up" how? "fiddle with its settings" in what way?
what is even the problem? this post doesn't give any information
"Messed up" : faceid still on but not working at all to unlock device or apps. Even after a reboot. Can't turn it off, can't add alternative face because primary face detection fails.
Here is what worked, as I read in apple forum: go in faceid settings, on the top block click "Learn more..." scroll all the way to the bottom. Turn faceid off for all apps in "use faceid for:" menu, then on. I know this is not a fix, not supposed to do anything useful, but it worked. It's pretty unnerving, hope I won't get that ever again, as I think it may very well be related to sensors failing progressively (again my device was a return for repair refurbished one)

Edit: typos, and by the way I understand that iOS starting to disable faceid on a phone with dying sensors is actually a good thing for security.
oh thanks for explaining
you're welcome. I had that first post too quick.
