According to Apple’s iOS 16 preview page, you’ll soon be able to unlock your iPhone, make purchases, autofill your passwords, and do other things with Face ID when your phone is angled horizontally. Face ID is currently available on iPads in landscape mode, so bringing it to iPhones is long overdue. When the functionality is released, you will no longer have to ensure that your phone is in portrait mode to use Face ID, which might be annoying if you constantly keep your phone turned in that orientation.
