QuickTip: Skim for bold or italicized words.
Step 1: Ensure Your Device is Ready for Its Close-Up!
Before we dive into the Truist app itself, the first crucial step is to make sure your iPhone is properly configured for Face ID. Without this foundational setup, the Truist app won't be able to utilize this feature.
QuickTip: Use CTRL + F to search for keywords quickly.
Sub-heading: Check Your iPhone's Face ID Settings
- Go to Settings: Tap the "Settings" icon on your iPhone's home screen. It's usually a gray gear icon.
- Find Face ID & Passcode: Scroll down and tap on "Face ID & Passcode." You'll be prompted to enter your device passcode to proceed.
- Ensure Face ID is Enabled: Within this section, verify that "Face ID" is turned on for "iPhone Unlock" and any other apps you might want to use it with. If you haven't set up Face ID on your device yet, you'll see an option to "Set Up Face ID." Follow the on-screen prompts to scan your face. Make sure you have good lighting and no obstructions like masks or sunglasses.
- Update Your iOS (If Necessary): While not always strictly required, having the latest version of iOS on your iPhone can prevent compatibility issues and ensure optimal performance for Face ID within apps. To check, go to "Settings" > "General" > "Software Update."

Read through it carefully and if you agree, tap "Accept" or "Confirm" to proceed. Truist emphasizes that they do not store your biometric information directly; they simply leverage your device's existing Face ID capabilities.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How to: Troubleshoot Face ID if it's not working?
- Quick Answer: First, ensure Face ID is enabled and working on your iPhone itself (Settings > Face ID & Passcode). Then, try toggling Face ID off and on within the Truist app settings (More > App Settings > Face ID). If issues persist, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Truist app.
How to: Know if my device supports Face ID?
- Quick Answer: Face ID is available on iPhone X and later models (excluding iPhone SE 2nd and 3rd generation, which use Touch ID). If your iPhone has a notch at the top of the screen instead of a Home button, it likely supports Face ID.
How to: Disable Face ID on the Truist app?
- Quick Answer: Open the Truist app, go to "More" or "Menu," then "App Settings" or "Settings & Profile," and find the "Face ID" or "Biometric Approval" option. Simply toggle the switch off to disable it.
How to: Use Face ID if I'm wearing a mask or sunglasses?
- Quick Answer: Face ID on iPhones generally requires your eyes, nose, and mouth to be visible for authentication. Wearing a mask or dark sunglasses will usually prevent Face ID from working. Some newer iPhones or iOS versions have an "Unlock with Mask" feature, but its compatibility with third-party apps like Truist may vary.
How to: Ensure my Face ID is secure for banking apps?
- Quick Answer: Face ID is considered a highly secure biometric authentication method. Ensure your device passcode is strong, and avoid sharing your device with others who might have similar facial features or could gain access. Truist itself does not store your biometric data.
How to: Switch from Face ID to password login if I prefer?
- Quick Answer: Even with Face ID enabled, you always have the option to manually enter your username and password by tapping on "Use Password" or a similar option on the login screen, or by simply waiting for the Face ID prompt to time out.
How to: Set up Face ID on multiple devices for the Truist app?
- Quick Answer: Face ID is device-specific. If you use the Truist app on multiple iPhones, you'll need to enable Face ID separately on each device by following the steps outlined above.
How to: Know if Truist stores my Face ID data?
- Quick Answer: No, Truist does not store your Face ID data. Face ID is a feature managed by your iPhone's secure enclave, and the Truist app simply communicates with your device to verify your identity.
How to: Update the Truist app for better Face ID performance?
- Quick Answer: Regularly check for app updates in the Apple App Store. Go to the App Store, tap your profile icon, and look for "Truist" under "Available Updates" or "Upcoming Automatic Updates."
How to: Contact Truist support if I'm still having issues with Face ID?
- Quick Answer: If you've followed all the steps and still can't get Face ID to work, contact Truist customer support directly through their website, the app's "Help & Support" section, or by calling their customer service line. They can provide specific assistance for your account.
