FaceID: multiple faces? (like multiple fingers for TouchID)

[eoblaed]

Can't find any info on this, but wondering if it'll be possible to set up multiple faces to work with FaceID. I know folks that do a lot of cosplay, for example, and might spend a good part of a weekend with their face entirely obscured ... could be handy to be able to scan an additional face in, even if you just delete it shortly after.

I know the passcode will always be an option, but again with the gloves/hand-coverings.

Not possible. Why would it be?

In iOS 11 GM, "People with Multiple Personalities" option is available under Accessibility

Maybe someone would want to let a family member use their device, and use it regularly enough that it would be worth letting them unlock it without the passcode.

The complications of having multiple faces for ApplePay would make it near-impossible.

Our phone is basically now our ID, Wallet, Credit Card, general Auth, etc.

TouchID allows multiple fingers and there's nothing that says that have to belong to the same person.

Apple is discriminating against Abby and Brittany Hensel.

I thought FaceID could see through beards, hats and glasses. Why wouldn't it be able to see through make-up? I guess if your cosplay outfit incorporated a mask, you'd be out of luck.

But then again, I guess cosplayers with gloves were previously incompatible with TouchID.

So there's the passcode to fall back on.

You could always share your passcode to the other person.
