That is of course if you don’t have an identical twin. If you don’t have a twin then the chances of someone getting by the Face ID on the iPhone Xs and Xs is slim to none. Now, Settings up your Face ID is pretty similar to setting up the “old” fingerprint sensor – very easy to set up and make use of. You’ll find the steps to set up yours below.
