we'll take a look at this tomorrow if it's easy or not to add. cc @MortalKastor
Unfortunately the library we rely on doesn't support face unlock on Android, and, as far as I can tell, there is currently no React Native library supporting that.
Don't expect support for this feature in the short term, sorry.
Oh well :(
What about https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-biometrics? Sorry just the first (or third) google result I found, I actually have no idea on what's being used to develop this app lol
Thanks anyway. Should this be left open for the future?
Just wanted to bump this to show support for this feature. I'm moving to the Pixel 4 XL this month and it sucks to not have biometric unlock supported for face unlock.
There's kind-of a workaround, i.e. LastPass can auto-fill the app password after you face-auth with LastPass.
Not perfect but better than entering the password manually I guess
Native biometric would be best though
We recently upgraded react-native-fingerprint-scanner to v4.0.0. It should enable the "Face Unlock" feature on supported devices. I haven't tested on newer android devices though.

It doesn't appear to be working on the Pixel 4 XL. I'm not seeing an option for Face Unlock.
@Mythris29 I believe Ledger needs to enable it in their app
@gre @MortalKastor would you guys be able to revisit this? The bio auth/fingerprint option is not present in app settings on a Pixel 4
Thanks!
What @JunichiSugiura said is not yet in production. While we didn't give a try yet there is a chance it will work. We'll try to get our hand on a device that have faceid to check if it works.
Any updates to this? I'd be happy to volunteer to help test if getting your hands on compatible hardware is the issue. I have the Pixel 4 XL.
Looks like this got silently (accidentally) implemented?
After re-installing the app recently, I was able to set a Password Lock in the app, then flip the Fingerprint toggle and now face recognition unlocks the app :)
Looks good to me, I think this is good to close now.
Oh, and - thanks, devs!
Currently only fingerprint biometic auth is supported which makes it a pain for phones that don't have a fingerprint scanner and only have face unlock (like Pixel 4)
Since the framework already exists this should be relatively easy
