The FBI has ordered a suspect to unlock his iPhone X using the facial recognition feature in the first case known worldwide of authorities using Apple's face ID technology to pry into devices.
The incident occurred in Columbus, Ohio, when the FBI entered the home of Grant Michalski, 28, on August 10 while investigating him for child abuse.
An agent told Michalski's to put his face to the phone and once inside uncovered salacious chats that helped charge him with receiving and possessing child pornography, according toForbes.

Forbes obtained court documents which revealed special agent David Knight entered Michalski's home with a search warrant and forced the suspect to unlock his phone with his face.
This allowed Knight to go through the contents of Michalski's device, including online chats and photos.
The search revealed Kik conversations, including a chat with an undercover officer posing as a father looking for sex with minors.
He also discovered Michalski discussing abusing minors.
The 28-year-old was eventually charged with receiving and possessing child pornography.
However, the FBI did not have Michalski's phone passcode, which blocked forensic tools from uncovering deleted files.
The case is part of a larger ongoing between law enforcement and technology giants.
Tech companies argue the feature could also potentially allow police to unlock phones of suspects to find incriminating evidence, without having to get a court to try and force them to hand over their passcode.

Concerns first arose when Apple introduced touch ID, which allows users to unlock iPhones with their fingerprints.
This was reportedly used to unlock the phones of dead people.
Experts have also warned that the facial recognition technology has the potential be abused by thieves, forcing iPhone X owners to unlock their phones to steal information and wipe them to sell, or even an abusive partner wanting to look through their spouses' messages.
Jerome Greco, staff attorney at the Legal Aid Society, told Forbes: 'Traditionally, using a person's face as evidence or to obtain evidence would be considered lawful. But never before have we had so many people's own faces be the key to unlock so much of their private information.'
However in this case, officials seemed to do everything right by obtaining a search warrant ahead of time.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
