Face ID has worked extremely well for me, and seems to even be getting better since I have been "training" it in the failed cases by entering a passcode.

But I have one annoyance that I'm hoping gets fixed in software soon - and it is the keypad delay time. I often have my phone on my desk, waiting to run an app I am building...but it is often off to the side well out of range of Face ID. The problem is, I wake the phone by tapping, then swipe up. If there is no face that it can see the phone waits for 2 seconds before bringing up the keypad. It isn't long, but after doing it 20 times a day it can get quite annoying.

Is there any way to remove this delay for the keypad to pop-up, while still keeping FaceID?

If not my proposal to apple would be to let you "tap" on the face ID screen to immediately bring up the keypad, you could just tap/swipe/tap/pincode to unlock vs tap/swipe/wait 2 seconds/pincode.

Or better yet, Apple should just add a way to have the phone stay unlocked if you authenticate it while attached to Xcode...

after tapping on the screen and swiping up, you will see the text "face ID" appear on screen. Tap those words to bring up the keypad. 😀
