It is part of the Smart Lock settings in System Settings, so take a look there.
For me it does not work, because my employer has disabled all Smart Lock functions.
Only fingerprint still works.

The original face unlock that existed back in may/june was removed and hasn't been added back yet. There's Google's trusted face, but it isn't that accurate.

Since the October update face unlock has been working great for me, I very rarely use it though as you still need to swipe up, I would rather it unlocked to the home screen.

Weird Dark Blotches on screen?

Hello! For some reason my phone has these weird dark spots that jump around whenever there's something dark on my phone (Reddit dark mode, twitter, discord, dark spots on youtube/netflix) and I tried to use a screen recorder to capture it but it doesn't show up on the video, so I assume I just have a faulty screen? Or is this a bug with Android Pie? I only got the phone a few days ago, no drops or thuds on it.
It's a known issue that was introduced in the February security update.

Well, I guess I'm happy my screen isn't broken but this also means I don't know how to fix it.. Have they announced that they know this? Once I update my phone to pie (The day I got it sadly) I've noticed so many issues with it, and I can't go back to Oreo :/
People have reported it but no official response from Xiaomi yet. We'll have to wait and see if the March security update fixes it.

Thanks for these details. I almost accepted the update but declined.
It's going to take a lot for me to purchase a Mi A3. Quality control on this device is horrid.

How to get it... apply for a job @ Nokia.... learn the definition of the last character of the firmware build... it says B guess what it means.
So unless it gets leaked, which most likely won't happen, you've to wait for an A

well if B is Beta.. then A.. is Alpha... so we need F.. Full Version...:laugh:
That looks legit and could be the new release. I wouldn't pay much attention to the letters. There's new builds of touch and camera firmware, which could mean lesser issues with the fingerprint sensor and the camera errors.
Apparently nokia said via Twitter that they had some one time issue in getting the security release on time. That we should expect a FM this week. Not sure if it is true. But I'm disappointed that they don't honor the Android One promise
I'd much rather prefer they get the update right in terms of fixing whatever camera issues/fingerprint sensor they resolved than getting it sooner half-baked that will require yet another update.
My stable version has a F in the end

Yeah for the camera I don't mind to wait. But for the security updates I do mind to wait as this is a separate update that has nothing to do with camera
There is updateV.4.22C .Just instaling ( in Poland )
Netherlands as well
India!
Also in Spain.
New update build number
I just updated to the latest update, fingerprint enrollment hasbeen update, Its quite reliable and has a more success rate, still slow but I don't mind it since not tell me to press harder like before, hope it gets better with future updates.:laugh:
Never mind fingerprint. Camera is what most people bought this phone, and it was horiblle also ( I mean app ).Lot's of bugs
Any release notes?
Just applied update
Fingerprint reader is now perfect though aesthetically the small brackets around the thumbprint distract. Can't say anything about camera.
250Mb. Took a very long time to install over a fast wifi connection. I was afraid that I had bricked my phone.
United States. T-Mobile. Unlocked phone.
The bug in translation in Camera app still present (bokeh). Fingerprint sensor almost as ****ty as it was. I deleted all fingerprints and added four new. Press harder...
FP still ****.. maybe due to screen protector too thick...
Camera is improve littlebit Manual still have bug eventhou u set the shutter speed still go automatic
Pro mode is still buggy i think..When cam set to "ISO prority" ( ISO set on 100 ) assuming, that camera mesures exposition automatically, the time suppose to be selected in auto position, and it all suppose to give proper exposition. But when ISO is set , time goes itself to 1/33 sec, that gives total underexposition. Time has to set manually based on the display preview to have things to work. So does it mean, that in Pro mode exposition hase to be set manually, or it is another bug? Timer sound in Cam app ,still not working correctly
No... In pro mode everything is manual

samsung phones are worst, full of bugs, full of bloatware and no updates, no software support, no quality control. ?
samsung is just a marketing hoax.
yesterday my 6 year old iphone 5s got an update IOS 12.4.4 , can you believe? in order to fix a facetime bug and cope with new apple services.
and when apple releases an update, all the devices in the world are getting it for sure. not like samsung, they have 1000 variants of almost the same hardware, but the updates are so problematic and you have to wait for ages in order to receive them. ? samsung is just a waste of time and money.
after updating i removed the fingerprints saved on my a70 and reconfigured them , the process is different not by much , it is faster and more straight forward , and the fingerprints recognition is faster and more accurate

Did the same, but the registration process is always interrupted with a couldn't register fingerprint warning. Sometimes at over 90%, it pops up, then the process just ends without saving the registered data.
This update ****ed up my sensor totally.
Don't update!

It is very difficult to register a fingerprint. It's actually impossible
November update is bad. Don't update!!!

I don't use screen protector..
Samsung implemented brand new fingerprint recognition algorithm which is more sensitive. Face recognition is now better, more accurate and much faster, but fingerprint is somehow much problematic than previous update.
Tip: Don't install November update. Wait for the next update and do not delete your currently recorded fingerprints, especially if you already applied latest November update.
Cheers!
I got the update two days ago. Removed fingerprints and registered new. Everything seems to be working fine and fp sensor seems much better!
I have the October update and there were no fingerprint issues. It will be interesting to see if this is the same update for the sensor as in October, or if the November update was further changes to it.
november patch for chile es out. A705MN CHO / A705MNXXU4ASK5

Same here cannot register any now
Received November patch India
After November update, sensor cannot read fingerprints, not lighting the green light under finger, sometimes a reboot helps, sometimes not, totally erratic behavior.
But when it works it seems to recognize faster than before update.
I used Odin to update mine to November patch, no issues yet, FPS works as it did before, maybe a little better on the battery.

I haven't root brother
Same here, face unlock suddenly stopped working a couple of hours ago, I deleted face data and tried setting it up again - receiving error message that face unlock enrollment didn't work
Is it fixed?
Facing this problem too.
Zero issues on my Pixel 4 or 4 XL. I've never had issues. Might be hardware

I have the Pixel 4 XL and it's been working fine until I had to get it replaced because of the 50% battery issue. The replacement phone the face lock setup doesn't work. I've loved the phone so far and was really considering getting the Pixel 6 when it comes out. But these two issues so close together have made me begin to question. I'll never buy another Samsung, so I guess that leaves Apple.
Mine just started doing this after a factory reset. It was driving me crazy. I was able to finally get it to work. Before it gets to the point of scanning your face there will be a place you can click on asking if you have trouble moving your head. Once you click that it will still say the same thing about fitting your face but you will not have to move your head around. Just keep moving your phone in and out and it will eventually take when it finds the sweet spot. I haven't had any issues using face unlock after setting it up.
Had the same problem and apparently it was because of my screen protector. If you have one on, try removing it and test
Solved this problem!
Bakstory: I have Pixel 4XL not locked on carrier's network. I was running Andorid 11 (build from Jun 2021) since the moment I've bought the phone and I have never updated it to the newest versions of Andorid till this days, cause I've read that many Pixel users expirenced problems after update (like not working wireless charging and problems with Face Unlock). Last few month I've noticed that Face Unlock recognized me with 50% chance, I've experinced it earlier and usually I was able to fix it by deletting the face and setting up Face Unlock once more. This time it did not work. I've deleted the face data and was not ale to set it up once more. It was saying "fit your face in inner frame", It was detecting my face, cause it was reacting when I was turning the head and it was sayin "turn your head less" or was reacting when I was moving away from phone by saying "move closer". I've also upgraded to Andoid 13 from push update and problem was not resolved.
Solution: I've rolled back to Andorid 10 (build QD1A.190821.011.C4, Oct 2019), before installing back up your files, cause during the process you will basically reset your phone to factory settings. And on Android 10 Face Unlocked works like charm! It succesfully set up and worked. After that I've upgarded to Android 13 from push update and Face Unlock still works! BUT, DO NOT TRY TO DELETE FACE DATA AFTER ANDROID UPDATE,IN MY CASE IT WOULD NOT SET UP BACK, I HAD TO ROLL BACK TO Andorid 10 TO SET UP FACE.
I had screen protector and the mentioned above problem is not because of it, because I was trying to set up Face Unlock without screen protector for 3 hours straight. I've even downloaded HedgeCam2 to check how Infrared Camera works with it and without it, no difference.
That's definetly software problem, not hardware, greetings to Google Developers
Sorry for grammar mistakes, English is not my primary language. I hope you understood me and I've managed to describe my problem and how I solved it.

Question New Pixel owner. unlock questions

Hello Folks,
Coming from a S20 im finding the fingerprint scanner quite infuriating. has anyone fund a way to improve this?
Oh and sometimes it goes straight to the pin, not even an option to unlock. why?
Maybe (I doubt it) google will improve the fingerprint with software updates overtime. For now it's just totally unreliable. If you want to live with pixels you have to adapt I use smartlock (smartwatch) and thanks to that I don't need to use fingerprint at all (well almost, 2-3 times a day it asks for it).
I come from Samsung Galaxy Flip4 (S21 ultra before), I have Pixel 7 for 3 days and I have no problem with fingerprint.
Have you tried re-registering your fingers?
Its improved having the fingerprint registered twice. but for some reason you can only register 4 of them
