Change Face ID and attention settings on iPhone

For additional security, Face ID is attention aware. It unlocks iPhone only when your eyes are open and looking at the screen. iPhone can also reveal notifications and messages, keep the screen lit when you’re reading, or lower the volume of alerts.

If you don’t want iPhone to check for your attention, do the following:

1. Go to Settings  > Face ID & Passcode.
2. Turn on or off any of the following:

These settings are turned off by default if you turn on VoiceOver when you first set up iPhone.

Note: Requiring attention makes Face ID more secure.
