How to teach your iPhone's Face ID to recognize you even if you're wearing a surgical mask

Apple's Face ID does not recognize users wearing a surgical mask, forcing them to type in their passcode or remove the protective gear to unlock the smartphone. Researchers have now shared a hack that trains the technology to accept your face with or without a mask. The video tutorial shows a user folding a brand-new mask in half, laying it on one side of their face and going through the process of setting up the biometric system. Users can either'Reset Face ID' or choose to make their masked face an'Alternate Appearance.' Researchers have now shared a trick that train the technology, which involves snapping pictures of your face with just half of it covered by a mask. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has recommended that Americans consider wearing masks to limit the spread of the coronavirus that is sweeping the nation.
