How to Use Face ID on Any iPhone?

Step 1: Open Cydia, then go to the Sources tab and add the following new repository: http://julioverne.github.io

Step 2: Once the new source has been added and all its packages loaded, search for the tweak Appellancy and install it.

Step 3: Go to the Home screen and open the app. Tap on the + button in the top right corner to add a new user, then open it. Here you can take pictures of your face so that the app recognizes you when you attempt to unlock your iPhone.

The more pictures you take, the better the face detection functionality. For instance, you can capture a picture from every angle of your face. Apart from your own face, you can also add other people’s face to the app so that your device can be unlocked with their face as well.

Step 4: Now you're ready to go. Whenever you want to unlock your iPhone using your face, simply hold it in front of you so that the front camera can detect your face. Within a second, your device will automatically get unlocked just like Face ID.

Appellancy is very cool tweak and it will be useful for those who want the Face ID on the Touch ID-enabled devices.
