The Face ID feature on iPhones is a powerful tool for securely unlocking your phone, authorizing payments, and performing other secure actions. While it’s designed to work seamlessly and unobtrusively, you might want to enhance the experience by adding haptic feedback.
Enabling vibrations during Face ID authentication can provide a subtle cue that confirms your phone has successfully recognized your face. If you prefer to receive this kind of feedback, here’s a simple guide to make your iPhone vibrate on Face ID authentication.
Sometimes you want to know that your iPhone has unlocked without needing to glance at the screen. A vibration provides instant confirmation. For users with visual impairments, haptic feedback makes it easier to confirm successful Face ID authentications. Also, if you’re in a hurry or multitasking, the vibration ensures you don’t miss whether your phone unlocked securely.
