To add Face ID to apps on your iPhone 14, you'll need to first make sure Face ID is set up on your device.

Face ID is a biometric authentication feature that uses facial recognition to unlock your iPhone and authenticate certain apps. It's convenient and secure, but it requires some setup.

To enable Face ID, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode and follow the prompts to set up your face scan. This typically involves holding your iPhone in front of your face and moving your head slightly as the camera takes multiple photos.

Now that Face ID is set up, you can start adding it to your apps.

Setting up Face ID is a straightforward process that can be completed in a few easy steps. To start, head to Settings > Face ID & Passcode.

If you didn't set up Face ID when you first set up your iPhone, you can do so by going to Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Set up Face ID, then following the on-screen instructions.

To set up an additional appearance for Face ID to recognize, go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode > Set Up an Alternate Appearance, then follow the on-screen instructions.

It's worth noting that setting up Face ID requires your iPhone to be unlocked and your face to be visible to the camera. Make sure you're in a well-lit area with a clear view of your face.
