Apps get a coarse depth map - this cannot be used to replicate your face in perfect 3D, nor can it be used to bypass FaceID.


I'm not a security expert but this seems like are giving out a coarse approximation of my username (that has no password protection). I would think it is significantly easier to break into FaceID starting with the coarse depth map than no depth map at all. But again, I could just be out of my depth on this topic and the difference isn't that big of a deal?


It's possible but I 3D printed the face mesh from their API and it didn't work to unlock Face ID on my phone.

It did a pretty good job of scanning my face though: https://twitter.com/braddwyer/status/930594896523567104
