It was not officially launched, but a lot of information about iOS 11 features on iPhone 8 / iPhone X appeared.

A feature that will be introduced with the launch of the new iPhone device is Face ID. This feature allows securing iPhone devices by facial print. More precisely, through Face ID, the face of the authorized person is scanned, and the unlocking will be done "at a glance". We're looking at the iPhone again facial detection sensor will unlock the device. As an alternative measure, the device unlock password will remain. Face ID & Passcode seems to be called the new iOS security option.

Pe Twitter a picture has already appeared that seems to show how this new option will look in the final version of iOS 11. Of course, this screen is made by a user based on the data extracted from the new iOS 11, in which the Face ID functionalities appear in detail.

How to configure Face ID on iPhone

First of all, just like in the case of Touch ID, you will choose a passcode (a password) that will be used in situations where facial recognition, Face ID is not available.
After setting this iPhone unlock passwords, it goes to the facial recognition process, through which the features of the face are recorded in the iPhone. We hold the iPhone with the front side at a distance of 30-50 cm from the face, with the Face ID setting function open. "Hold your iPhone 10 to 20 inches from your face".

We turn our head slightly left and right, up and down, to capture a 3D image of the face. Or a circular movement of the head. This process will be done twice, for good accuracy. In the image below you can see exactly how the head must be moved to set Make ID on iPhone.

At the end of the process, the iPhone will be locked and a test will be done to confirm that the facial image recording was done successfully.

Another novelty is that once the facial sensor detects that you are looking at the iPhone, the display light will remain on and the notifications will no longer sound, even if the iPhone is not in silent mode.

Attention is detected when you are looking at the screen. When attention is detected, the iPhone does not dim the display.

Since this feature of iOS 11 requires the existence of a dedicated sensor on the front of the iPhone, Face ID will only be available on the new iPhone models. Most likely, the iPhone 7S will receive this feature, even if it will not be provided with an edge-to-edge OLED display.
