2. Now, follow the on-screen instructions. set up your first Face ID.
3. After adding your first face to Face ID, you will be returned to the settings page. Now let’s add the second face. Tap on it “Set Up an Alternate View”.
4. Now, just follow the on-screen instructions. Add a second Face to your device.
5. And that’s it. Your second face has been added to the Face ID of your iPhone X.
