Can I use FaceID on iPhone7?

With the 2019 update, iOS 13.1 can be used on iPhone7.


iOS 13.1 includes FaceID functionality, but iPhone7 does not seem to have FaceID.


In fact, can I use FaceID on iPhone7?


If so, please tell me how to use it.

No. Use Touch ID. See the iOS HIGs on 'Authentication':

https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/ios/user-interaction/authentication/


"Reference authentication methods accurately. Don't reference Touch ID on a device that supports Face ID. Conversely, don't reference Face ID on a device that supports Touch ID. Check the device's capabilities and use the appropriate terminology. For developer guidance, see LABiometryType."

iPhone 7 lacks a TrueDepth camera and is, therefore, not capable for performing Face ID login. Not sure what you are referencing that iOS 13.1 includes Face ID; Face ID has been a feature of iOS for any device with a TrueDepth camera going back to the release of iPhone X in September 2017. iPhone 7 can continue to use Touch ID for authentication, but not Face ID.
