Screen distance

Do I need to activate my Face ID first before the screen distance can function? Or without the Face ID the screen distance would work ?

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 17

No, this is not neccesary. See this on how to activate screen distance


  1. Go to Settings > Screen Time.
  2. Tap Screen Distance, then turn Screen Distance on or off.
