When are we going to see multiple Face ID's?

[AskTJ]

Which generation of future iPhone's will have the ability to store more than one Face ID?

For what purpose? I've never known anyone to share a phone.

 

Unless they do what Lenovo has done with some of it's tablets, have multiple users on the same device like a PC and individual files and stuff.

iOS 12. 

 

iOS 12 adds support for 2 faces on iPhone X.

The intention is for people who change their appearance often with the same haircuts or sunglasses and etc. 

 

You can also use it for 2 completely different faces for parents or S.O.s

2nd gen Touch ID (iPhone 7/7+/8/8+) > Face ID

If people change their appearance that "often" then 2 still wont be enough. if you change, and your phone doesn't recognize you, login using a password/PIN and update your face (that sounds weird)

Then don't use it if you don't want it......

Eh, I actually prefer face ID. When I'm working my hands are often dirty or wet and are unable to be read by the scanner so I have to type out my password. Face ID fixes this.

I don't have an iPhone but face and iris recognition on my note 8 is very useful when you work as a mechanic and are covered in grease, dirt and some unidentifiable substances.

Completele agree woth @Sierra Fox. Having only two appearances saved is useless for people who change it often.

However, for parents I think that this might be very valuable.

Could this be used to set up a 90 degree rotated face for landscape unlocking?
