Off-topic, but on the subject of Apple. FaceID is a nightmare to work with, while wearing a mask. The numeric input delay, after trying to open your phone for the 100th time, gets old.
Turn the autolock off when you go outside, keep the phone unlocked. You can turn it back on when you're done, it's a single prefs switch. And change your lock screen image to 'REMAIN INDOORS'.
Toggling that off requires disabling Apple Pay, and turning it back on requires re-adding cards to Apple Pay in order to use them.
You're thinking of something else. I mean specifically 'auto lock', the thing where the phone locks by itself after a timeout. It does not require turning off pay, changing PINs, passwords, etc. You just have to keep your phone unlocked while you're out.
And what, replace my lock screen image that says ‘BREATHE AIR’?
Doesn't the FaceID uses machine learning to "learn" from your face (ie. when having beard)? If not, I'm really disappointed as a vivid iPhone 6s user.
a beard develops over time. FaceID adapts to this kind of gradual change. An immediate change like putting a mask requires that you set up an alternative appearance in the settings in order to be recognized by FaceID.
