Phone face recognition

Hi,

I am going through an extremely difficult time with my husband at the moment. We’ve definitely come to the end of the line, too many reasons to into at the moment.
I have asked him to move out which he is refusing to do, he said he doesn’t care if I do not but I do not have the finances to do so. My only option would be moving into my parents which I don’t want to do.

I’m very suspicious of his behaviour recently and have become not trust him due to there always being one thing or another. During an argument the other day about a recent issue I asked him “if I were to ask you to show me your phone right now what would you say?”, he knows my phone log in, I have nothing to hide. His response was “that’s an invasion of my privacy”, rather than saying sure I have nothing to hide. I had no intention of looking at his phone but his face when I asked was like oh shit, so I know he’s up to no good. He regularly had WhatsApp notifications coming through these have now stopped so think he’s stopped the notifications.

So long story short to my title - his iphone has Face ID, has anyone found a way to hack around this?

Hold the phone up to his face when he's asleep or drug him so he falls unconscious and then hold it up to his face? BUT do you really, really want to do that? It will probably break a multitude of laws....

@BasilParsley if I could get away with drugging him I’d do it - might give me a bit of peace on days when it’s his day off 😄

You’ve come to the end of the line, disengaging is how you navigate this time, not disappearing down a rabbit hole.

twoandcooplease · 17/05/2023 19:35

I think the eyes need to be open to unlock the phone so wouldn't work when he's asleep

I think the trust is already gone and it's a pointless rabbit hole you'll find yourself in

The fact he reacted like that rather than trying to save the relationship would be enough for me. Doesn’t really matter what’s on there.

You can’t hold them to a sleeping persons face.

Op, you are at the end of the line. You know it. Starting to obsess about this will just distract you from what you actually need to do, which is plan the split.

If it turned he wasn’t seeing someone else, would you want to stay together and work through it?

SillyMe101 · 17/05/2023 19:37

To answer your question, I know someone who was left questioning everything about his appearance when his dad’s face unlocked his own phone!

But short of him having a twin, all the other posters are correct. You already have your answer 💐

@TeenLifeMum yep it said it all really. I’ve just found him to be so sneaky, lying and underhanded recently. It’s driving me mad thinking what could be on there and I want to show him that I’m right that he’s in the wrong. He’s making out like I’m the one with the issues and I’m crazy, but I’ve caught him out loads of times over the years and put up with so much.

@Effieswig I don’t even know if it’s another woman or just being up to no good. But it’s the lying and distrust. But no I don’t want it to work anymore, there has been too much of his behaviour towards me over the years.
I just don’t have the finances to manage on my own with three kids.
At the moment we have minimal contact, he comes home from work and I’m in bed
and he seems more than happy with that. But on days when he is home he is drinking and being an arse and I find it difficult to bite my tongue which then ends causing arguments.
He won’t speak to me about how I’m feeling about what’s going on, I had to send a text just to get it off my chest and for him to try and understand, he didn’t acknowledge anything I’d said, like he hadn’t even received it.

Hold it up to a photo of him

Aposterhasnoname · 17/05/2023 20:56

holding it up to his face when asleep or using a photo won’t work, his eyes have to be open and a phone “knows” if you’re using a photo. The only work around is finding out his pin.

Powerplant · 17/05/2023 20:57

My OH has face recognition but you can swipe up and put his pin in. If I’m using his phone, with his knowledge, I can access it. Not sure if it’s something he’s set up but he’s not great with phone settings anyway 😊
