Hmm okay. I’ve never been able to make it work while lying in bed; I end up just tapping in my pin rather than fuss with getting it to go through.

Main issue for me in bed is failure to identify face smooshed into pillow. Raise head and unlock fine, even in full dark. Still requires neck muscle actuation that wasn't required with touch id.

I have the same problem. Recently realized it’s because I don’t wear glasses in bed and thus the phone is too close to my face for faceid to work

It works in pitch dark.

but it fails completely when you have a little bit of rain on your glasses :)

Depending on where you sit on the conscience/security sliding scale you might want to considering turning off “Require attention”. That solves 90% of glasses/sunglasses related issues.

I do it all the time, fwiw, but my girlfriend cannot get it to work reliably. So your mileage might vary, but in my experience ambient light does not matter.

For me it is because I don’t wear lenses and learned to move the phone a bit further away during the scan to make it eorl in bed. It works every time

Trueeee, when I bury half of my head in pillow.
