Why face id not working for android?

DougHigashi commented 7 months ago

Face ID is only available on iOS

youcefswoo commented 6 months ago

@DougHigashi so in Android, we can say that only fingerprint authentication is working since face authentication is not supported, and the PIN code is not functioning

Will Face ID (Facial Recognition) Support Be Added for Android in Future Updates?

It depends on Google (or Android device manufacturers), but Google can’t use the FaceID name for such a feature because it is patented by Apple.

Currently, Android doesn’t provide the ability to check what type of biometric authentication is available on the device, so it always returns Biometrics.
