Face ID is a whole new way developed by Apple to unlock iPhones, including iPhone X, XR, XS, XS Max, 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Mac and iPad Pro. When it officially became a part of iOS security features, most people saw it as the most effective way to protect the device and data on it. But in recent times, certain iPhone X users have reported that they are unable to access their devices due to a problem with Face ID authentication.
If you’ve been locked out of your iPhone due to failed Face ID authentication, don’t worry. In this guide we are going to look at this problem and offer you practical solutions to unlock your iPhone X without Face ID.
