Common iPhone X Problems & How to Solve them

iPhone x is the latest new product from Apple and it’s offering exciting features. However, some of its users are reporting finding some irritation at times some resulting from issues to do with face ID among other hassles. Below is a list of some of those annoyances and ways of fixing such issues.

Delayance of Face ID

There is some sense of waiting for quite longer time than it’s necessary. Once you raise or tap your iPhone or rather the power button on its side to wake the phone, almost at the phone’s top you see a small padlock. After recognition of your face, that lock opens a process which may take about one to two. Seconds which allows you to swipe the phone up then get to business.
How do you deal with this delaying? You really do not need to wait till you watch that padlock perform the animated opening. Actually Face ID works faster as compared to such opening which means you once the screen is on you can immediately swipe up. This is quite faster although a second delay may be experienced but it will go away with the padlock pause.

iPhone X Bluetooth Problems

We have seen various complaints about iPhone X Bluetooth issues this isn't surprising because Bluetooth issue is a common problem. That said, manually fixing Bluetooth issues can be extremely tricky and often times you’ll need to wait for Apple to deliver a new iOS update.

If you will not be able to wait for the next iOS update, go into iPhone X’s Settings > Bluetooth > and select the Bluetooth connection having issues using the “i” in the circle. Now tap Forget this Device. After that try reconnecting.
If that didn't work, and it might, go into Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Try reconnecting the iPhone X to your Bluetooth device. Make sure you have your Wi-Fi passwords handy because this will cause the iPhone X to forget them.
You might also try resetting your iPhone X’s settings to the factory defaults. To do this, go into Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. This process could take a few minutes and it will cause the iPhone X to forget all stored Wi-Fi passwords.
If you’re dealing with Bluetooth issues in the car and the above fixes don’t help, you’ll need to consult your car’s manual. If you’re unable to reset the connection yourself, you should make an appointment with customer service at your local dealership. They should be able help.

Default Hiding of Notifications

Another hassle connected to the issue of Face ID is a case of notifications not visible immediately not until a recognition of the face is completed. This feature is a security one which is default enabled and some users refer to it as smart but then it’s quite annoying at times.
