What are Attention Aware features?
Even if you haven't enrolled in Face ID, the TrueDepth camera* will intelligently activate to support Attention Aware features. With Attention Aware features, iPhone can check whether you're paying attention to your device and take action automatically. For example,
When you're looking at your device, your display won't dim until you stop looking at it.
If you're looking at your device, it will lower the volume sound of your alerts.
If you don't want to use these features, open the Settings app, tap Face ID & Passcode, then turn off Attention Aware Features.
*The TrueDepth camera is available on iPhone X or later except for iPhone SE. The iPad Pro 11-inch and iPad Pro 12.9-inch also use the TrueDepth camera.
