Dear uvesh144,


Absolutely! If your iPhone 12 is equipped with iOS 15.4 or a more recent version, it will indeed be capable of unlocking even when you have a mask on. During the process of configuring a new face using Face ID, you will be given the option to set it up specifically for usage with a mask or without one. I have included an article to help you - Use Face ID while wearing a mask with iPhone 12 and later - Apple Support - Set up Face ID on iPhone – Apple Support (UK)


I hope this helps!
