Is it really possible to unlock an iPhone using just a photo of the owner’s face? Or is that a myth?
That’s a myth for modern iPhones with Face ID!
Face ID uses advanced 3D scanning technology to map the unique contours and depth of your face. A flat photo lacks this crucial 3D information, making it impossible to trick the system. It’s a key security feature designed specifically to prevent unlocking with pictures, masks, or even very realistic replicas. Your iPhone needs to see you, in three dimensions.
