David Hanak If you've ever had (or still have) a Touch ID device, you probably have the authorized fingerprints of other people using your device in addition to your own fingerprints. Whether it's a husband/wife or a boyfriend/girlfriend. Apple within iOS allows adding a large number of fingers (5) and setting up access for multiple users is not a big problem. However, in the case of the iPhone X and Face ID, it is completely different. Face ID only supports one face for authorization, and as it turns out, Apple has no plans to change that anytime soon. Face ID will thus always be the authorization method for one specific user.

In an e-mail communication, the head of software development, Craig Federighi, said this. First of all, he wrote to one customer, even Touch ID was never intended to be a security solution that would support multiple users. That the users themselves set it this way. Initially, it was assumed that the owner of the device would set Touch ID on the thumb and index finger of both hands, plus he would have one additional profile available in addition.
In the email, Federighi said that it is possible that Face ID will be able to recognize and authorize other users at some point in the future, but at the moment this is not the direction in which the development is going. Apple is not talking about such a move at all, and we shouldn't expect it in the near future. You can read the full text of the email correspondence in the image above. The user originally boasted about it reddit, who was interested in Face ID and its possible improvements.

JOJO AT APPLE ARE GLAD TO MAKE A 1 KSICHT READER. I TOOK 2 HOURS WITH THE FINGERPRINT READER BEFORE SHE WAS TRYING TO ENTERTAIN ME. BOTH FACEBOOK AND DYE LASTED AN UNBELIEVABLE 2 DAYS BEFORE I DEACTIVATED IT. STILL THEY'RE JUST UNLOCK-SLOWING AND ANNOYING THINGS

With a different face, Face ID should automatically switch to a different user account. Similar to how Touch ID can be set up on a MacBook Pro. It probably needs more capacity on the phone for more user accounts...? Matter of time…
The phone is considered a purely personal device, therefore it does not support multiple accounts, nor is it planned. So no question of time, the iPhone is and will be single-user.
I can easily imagine a world where personal HW practically doesn't matter (more so with the ever-expanding cloud), and after identifying a user on any device (from a mobile, to a personal stretcher, to a terminal in a public library, etc.) users will be shown cleanly only his data, with his settings, with applications purchased with him, etc.
If it's not in Apple's plan now, it doesn't rule out at all that it can be added to the plan in a year, two, or five years.
How many plans and beliefs have been changed at Apple since the death of Steve Jobs?
So it pays for me - it's just a matter of time.
Maybe it will only be after our death, so we won't even be able to decide...?
Anyway, I wouldn't be so ultimate to be you. You are certainly not a high-ranking manager of Apple, nor do you see into the future, with your "is and will be". ?
It might make sense on an iPad, but why on a phone? God it's a phone!!! It has a single-user phone number - so why should it be multi-user? Stop looking at it as a one-size-fits-all iOS device and get back to basics. It's one person's phone with one phone number - that's not shared after all. Or maybe you know someone who shares their phone number with someone else?
Even the phone function can easily be available to the person who last logged in.
After all, there are also eSIMs.
Don't you remember the days when there was one phone for everyone in the household?
What if I have to leave my phone on the charger, go out and still have reception? So I simply take the phone of another member of the household (or any company phone at work; or hotel phone) and log in via Face ID or Touch ID to my account (including my own phone number).
What's wrong with that?
But you're already inventing something that won't be here for the next 10 years. Stop fantasizing and focus on serious things. Where are the eSIMs? Look around? Ask around - most "normal" people on the street will tell you they don't even know what it is. And ask our operators if you want to come up with something. And one phone in the household for everyone? Do you want to compare fixed line and mobile phones? Are you kidding me! Or maybe one mobile phone for everyone? Perhaps only where he was replacing that landline. No one shares their cell phone with anyone else. Again - take a survey in your area to return from Mars back to Earth. Well, if you come across at least 1% of those who do something like that. What if I have to leave my phone on the charger and go out without it? You really don't know? How do millions of people around you do it? Try asking them - "Hi, I'm from Mars and I don't know how you do this..."
Don't try to defend stupidity here, because you only breed more stupidity. It's really incredible what a person can invent so that he doesn't have to admit his mistake. ?
Why should I admit some mistake you made when we're talking about a theoretical future?? ?
In your opinion, the "mistake" is other than your personal opinion? ??
Are you really that narrow minded that you can't afford to share ANY hardware?
You can't imagine, for example, a company that only has mobile phones for workers in the field, even though the barracks have fixed lines, when they take turns in the field, so before leaving they just take emergency equipment from the box (be it a tablet, notebook, phone, car, spec meters and tools) that they simply log into and continue to use it with their settings, their registered phone number, their applications, etc.?
Then the problem is only you. ⚠️
The fact that it is possible to circumvent the system (e.g. borrow a phone from another household member and put up with his settings, the applications he uses and his data, or his phone number >> so that when someone calls you, you are not allowed anyway; (you don't have time to solve call forwarding when your phone is dead and you're in a hurry), does not mean that the system cannot be made better, more efficient and fully functional. So that he doesn't have to be bypassed.
Of course it won't be next year. After all, I wrote that it could be in the plan. And that plan can be with a view of 10 years. But maybe even earlier. Technically, it wouldn't be that complicated. There are only limited capacities.
Well, eSIM is a reality, even if you're just coming down from the tree and can't see it.
People's opinions on that poll of yours are irrelevant. If you asked people in your neighborhood 20 years ago if they needed tablets, what would they fill in for you? And how do the same people see it today? You questionnaire! ?
You're probably not a fan of Apple, or Steve Jobs, one of whose sayings was: "People often don't know they need something until you show them."
(not an exact quote)
I would really appreciate it if you didn't replace the absence of your arguments with emotions like "on Mars", "you breed nonsense", etc. Also, if you didn't tell me what I should focus on and what I shouldn't. Be from that goodness. ?
Try to think a little more.
You will find plenty of situations where phone sharing would be useful.
You will surely come up with something! ?
I'll tell you; mobile phones can also sometimes break... ..people travel, play sports,... ..have different jobs, different financial possibilities,... ?
Huh? ????
But you are a piece of gut, see? And to write so much about it - I really have enough of you. ?
It's obvious that you're talking about things you have no experience with. A company with field workers? Cell phones out of the box? Well tvl. you've never worked in such a company, have you? Otherwise you wouldn't be able to write such crap. And eSIM is a reality? Is that all you could write about it? Well, that probably tells about the reality. You made the mistake of posting anything here at all, because now you're a complete idiot. I would like to have you in the picture behind the frame - I would always laugh right from the morning. ???
?? When you have some arguments, come and present them. All you've done so far is a rat's pile of swear words, and you can't even do that.
You probably didn't even read the "try to think" part, did you? ?? Poor thing. ?
I'm still sending you a song so you won't be sad.
It's at a slightly higher level than yours, but maybe you can handle it... ?

Well, at least you're having fun. And when you get bored, go through it from the beginning - you probably didn't read or didn't understand the arguments. Which wouldn't surprise me with you. ?
I know. According to you, the argument is:
On Mars
idiot
Questionnaire
Photo behind the frame
A piece of intestine
More nonsense
...
When you have real arguments, come back to annoy me, amber. ??
Try personal outpourings on your mother, you might like it. ?
Oh, so he didn't understand. You probably came here to argue and hide behind your mother. I feel sorry for you.
I'm kidding, I don't feel sorry for you, you may have been born stupid, but you have yourself to blame for your ignorance. Serves you right.
I like it when you don't write anything to the point, just spit insults, and then tell me that I came to argue. ?
I don't understand what drives these people to act like total trolls and troll.
Does it really satisfy you so much?
You must mean yourself, right? Your last few posts have been completely off topic.
But let's end this awkward discussion, in a few years, remember how you took the side of the multi-user iPhone here and compare it with reality. And maybe in the meantime you could try to see where Apple also commented on this idea and wrote about it here on Jablíčkař. ? I'm not saying that I wouldn't have come up with it myself, but I have to admit that it's not from my head - someone else came up with the idea of multiple accounts in iOS a long time ago and it was discussed why not.
I certainly mean myself. ?
Your deduction skills are phenomenal! ??
