You cannot use FaceID on anything but the iPhone X right now. The 8 doesn’t have the hardware for it. And on the iPhone X, the FaceID is not an app but it is a feature embedded into iOS.


There are some apps that have facial recognition features in them, but those are app specific - they cannot be used to secure or unlock anything.
