Important : The steps are easy to read but difficult to perform. You need to be cautious during the process. When you wear mask and start recording the face, then you might see a message “Face is Blocked”. When you see this message, you have to move your mask a bit lower. This thing should be very slowly. As soon as iPhone asks you to record the face, proceed with the mask on.
