But hey, I\u2019m here to pass on information, not be the arbiter of what you do with said knowledge.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s get into it. Your opening move is firing up the Measure app on your iPhone 12 Pro (or 2020 iPad Pro, as that has a LiDAR sensor too). Then make sure the person you\u2019re measuring is fully in frame. At this point (but be patient), the Measure app should notice the person and give you their height.<\/p>\n<p>Like this:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1325277 lazy\" alt=\"iphone 12 pro measure people's height\" width=\"381\" height=\"750\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 381px) 100vw, 381px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/10\/iphone-12-pro-measure-peoples-height.png\" data-lazy=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/10\/iphone-12-pro-measure-peoples-height.png 731w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/10\/iphone-12-pro-measure-peoples-height-107x210.png 107w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/10\/iphone-12-pro-measure-peoples-height-137x270.png 137w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/10\/iphone-12-pro-measure-peoples-height-69x135.png 69w\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/plugged\/2020\/10\/26\/iphone-12-pro-measure-peoples-height-how-lidar-ipad-pro\/#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthenextweb.com%2Fplugged%2F2020%2F10%2F26%2Fiphone-12-pro-measure-peoples-height-how-lidar-ipad-pro%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: GOOD LUCK LYING ON YOUR PASSPORT NOW, BRO.\" data-title=\"Share GOOD LUCK LYING ON YOUR PASSPORT NOW, BRO. on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share GOOD LUCK LYING ON YOUR PASSPORT NOW, BRO. on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>GOOD LUCK LYING ON YOUR PASSPORT NOW, BRO.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As a quick note: if you want to change the units the Measure app displays, you can find this option in Settings.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_this_function_any_good\"><\/span>Is this function any good?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s incredibly cool.

It can be fooled by the shape of your hair, if you\u2019re wearing a hat, and I found there was a little variance depending on where you stood.<\/p>\n<p>Despite saying that \u2014 these all gave pretty minor variations, and I was genuinely impressed with the whole experience.<\/p>\n<p>Well, there you have it everyone!
