Apple didn’t enable facial recognition with a mask during COVID.
At first it didn’t work with a mask, then they changed it so that it went to the passcode screen.
Next they allowed it to unlock if you had a mask on and Apple Watch.
Finally they reworked FaceId to allow unlocking with a mask by making it focus more on the parts of the face it could see, although this was less secure and a compromise for convenience.
You must know something Apple doesn’t.
“If you're wearing a face mask or potentially other face coverings, Face ID with a mask can analyze the unique characteristics around your eyes. When using Face ID with a mask, you can still use Face ID to authenticate apps, unlock your iPhone, and use Apple Pay.”

Which is what I said. It focuses on other areas and is less secure.
Yeah I worked there during this period.
I don’t think personal device security would be an issue when illegally tracking a fugitive…
