In fact, this is not news. As early as the end of last year, developers discovered that the Google Pixel 6 series actually has the facial recognition unlock function. Early German and British distributors also mentioned face unlock in the promotional posters of the Pixel 6 series. Of course, the actual product is on the market. After that, the Pixel 6 series only provided two unlocking functions, password and on-screen fingerprint recognition. However, some netizens reported recently that he found the face unlock function on the setting screen of the new phone, and the relevant photos also caused a great response on the forum.
This is the first time since there were rumors last year that a user has actually photographed that the Pixel 6 series phone supports the face unlock function on the settings page. A Reddit forum user Special_Command7893 mentioned that he had just started the Google Pixel 6 flagship. On the setting page of the new phone, you can see the description text of face unlocking. From the photo, you can see options such as graphic unlocking, PIN code and face unlocking, fingerprint unlocking, etc., and he is not the only one. In the same discussion thread, there are also options. The person mentioned that he found a “Face Unlock” option in the settings interface of the new Pixel 6.
Pay attention! This doesn’t mean that the Pixel 6 series can now have face unlock in the form of a software update, but it does mean that Google engineers are indeed testing the feature. In fact, Google once provided the face unlock function when the Pixel 4 series was launched, but the Pixel 6 series did not provide a 3D face scanning module like the Pixel 4 series did, so this is quite strange. Will it appear on the Pixel 6 series with the system update? Maybe only God knows.
