They haven't talked about any changes to FaceID, so I guess there aren't any...

In that case: NO, FaceID does not work with masks, even if you try to set it up with mask on in the first place... As far as I know, it needs 3 focus points: 2 eyes and the nose...

People have tried to trick the iPhone with "half a mask" on, but with limited success...

This worked for me. Took 5 minutes at most.
