Hello again valor5, sorry for the late reply.


As of right now, I do not think so. Please remember that the iPhone 11 was designed before the COVID-19 Pandemic, so, obviously, the technology in that sensor is not ready or straight up not compatible with masks.


The iPhone 12 and 13 series, however, were designed during the COVID-19 Pandemic, which results in FaceID sensors that can scan your face with a mask on.


If an update is going to come, it will take some time, but as of right now, chances are pretty low. Sorry!


Best regards,


dotec
