Face Recognition

Face Recognition allows you to unlock your device or access locked apps with your facial data.

Set up Face Recognition

  1. Go to Settings > Biometrics & password > Face Recognition and enter your lock screen password.

  2. Select Enable raise to wake.

    The settings items vary by device. If your device does not provide a specific item, it indicates that the corresponding feature is not supported.

  3. Touch Get started and follow the onscreen instructions to enrol your facial data.

Set an Alternate Look

You can add an alternate look for more accurate and convenient face recognition.

On the Face Recognition screen, touch Set an alternate look, and follow the onscreen instructions to enrol the alternate facial data.

Set Face Unlock

On the Face Recognition screen, touch Unlock device and select an unlock method.

If you have enabled PrivateSpace or added multiple users to your device, you can use Face unlock only in MainSpace or with the Owner account.

Access App Lock with Face Recognition

On the Face Recognition screen, enable Access App Lock, and follow the onscreen instructions to add your facial data to App lock.

You can then touch a locked app on your home screen and use face recognition to access the app.

Link Your Face with Password Vault

Access the Face Recognition screen and enable Autofill usernames and passwords.

When logging in to an app, you can use Face Recognition to automatically fill in the account name and password saved in Password Vault.

Face Recognition for Security Enhancement

For greater security, enable Require trusted device when using Face unlock so your device will only be unlocked when it recognises your face and is connected to a trusted device.

This feature is disabled by default. To enable it, go to the Face Recognition settings screen, touch Require trusted device, enable the Require trusted device switch, and follow the onscreen instructions to complete the settings.

A trusted device can be any Bluetooth device that can be used for unlocking purposes, such as earphones, a watch, or a band.

Disable or Delete Facial Data

On the Face Recognition screen, you can do the following:

  • Disable facial data for certain features: Disable Unlock device, or Access App Lock as required. This will not delete your facial data.

  • Delete facial data: Touch Delete facial data and follow the onscreen instructions to delete your facial data.
