How to Easily Turn Off Face ID on Your iPhone
For many, the Face ID feature made turning their iPhones on and off much easier. It also allowed purchases to be made on the iPhone and even allowed a user to sign in to many online accounts.

- Security (particularly for use with Apple Pay)
- Face ID doesn't work properly
- The Face ID feature activates too quickly on sign-in (a very common complaint).
