Cross eyed and Face ID usage

So I’ve been cross eyed since before I got my current phone. I have had my current phone for less than a month so my appearance hadn’t changed. Would Face ID work if my eyes are looking the wrong way? Do I have to look the correct way for it to work? Because sometimes Face ID doesn’t work.

iPhone XS Max, iOS 14

There is a setting that might affect such things..

Check Settings > Face ID & Passcode and check the switch 'Require Attention for Face ID'

If that switch is turned on, it wants you to be looking at the phone.

It seems to me that being cross eyed might mess with that..
