Face ID on my cameraless phone?

A simple question I have, is there a way to bypass the need for a camera with face ID? Due to my job, I can't have a camera on the phone and I made the not-so-smart decision to remove the camera before setting up my phone. I know the sensors are still in but when setting up Face ID settings crashes. I'm wondering if it's possible to it up on another phone and transfer the data to my other iPhone and transfer it over again after setting up face ID? Any suggestions would be great.

iPhone 14 Pro

I need to understand your question by asking questions. Your employer does not allow cameras on the phone. You were then able to remove the front and back cameras of your iPhone 14 Pro. How did you remove the cameras without physically damaging the front and back glass? The sensors are part of the camera module(s) as well.


The short answer to your data transfer question is a NO. That cannot be successfully achieved on the modified iPhone that you are referring to.
