Has anyone tried this?
Unfortunately FaceID is not able to unlock my phone when I am wearing mine.

Face ID and Rayban Wayfarers

Well, I’m sure it works with many other sunglasses. I was surprised to see FaceID not work my wayfarers in particular.
right I read in other threads that different brands work with face ID. I wear my wayfarers 20% of the time.
Same here. I was curious to know if this is a phenomenon any others are experiencing given that wayfarers are pretty popular.
It works fine with my polarized aviator Ray Bans. Don't know the exact model name, but not the wayfarers. Very mirrored. Face ID unlocked fine with on. FWIW.
just tried it with a pair of wayfarers and ray ban aviators and it didn't work with either! Tried it with a pair of large cheap sunglasses and face ID worked! Must be the brand.
Yep, they’re still very popular!
Good to know they work on mirrored sunglasses. I’ll have to try mine later.
This is an interesting thought!
Works with my Wayfarers, but they’re prescription, so perhaps it’s more about the lenses than the frames.
Ok so FaceID works on all my other sunglasses, just not my two rayban wayfarers. If I turn off attention awareness FaceID has no issues with the raybans.
I also tried my Gucci glasses and it only worked on the 2nd or third try. I always wear my glasses at night so I’m kinda bummed Face ID falters with glasses on.
Maybe I should re-do face ID authentication with my glasses on????

I considered this for a second too.
I do wonder if over time there is any “learning” that FaceID does over time ... ?
I just tried unlocking my phone another 3-5 times and it does seem as though Face ID has ‘learned’ my face with glasses now. It unlocks faster now
This is very interesting to know, thanks!I just tried unlocking my phone another 3-5 times and it does seem as though Face ID has ‘learned’ my face with glasses now. It unlocks faster now
I’ve left attention awareness on as I don’t wear my raybans often and I want to get a better grasp of what works and doesn’t work with FaceID.

I have the feeling this wouldn’t roll over too well!Try using some blueblockers
I had the same issue with mine, I turned off the attention required feature and it works perfectly now every time! Disable it and that should work every time.
My normal clubmaster doesn't work with Attention Required on but works without it.
Haven't tried my polarised Wayfarer yet.

Easy fix -- turn off "require attention for face ID" in faceID & passcode settings. Don't see the point of it anyway. Now faceid works with my sunglasses on -- same model as yours - (before it wouldn't).
