Here’s a handy reference to the gestures you use for interacting with an iPhone that has Face ID. They cover how to return to the Home Screen at any time, quickly access controls, open the App Switcher, switch between open apps, use Apple Pay, take a screenshot, use Emergency SOS, and force restart.
