How's it going with that face mask you're wearing? (of course I supposed you could be wearing gloves too in which case they both suck)

Works fine if you set up an alternate appearance in FaceID settings.

Easy - just stay at home and you don't have to wear a mask :p

But why would gloves cause trouble with FaceID? Apart from the fact that you probably shouldn't touch your phone with your gloved hand to begin with.

They cause trouble with TouchID. That's the comparison.

You can set up a second face which I think was added specifically for masks which have always been common in Asia.
