Google still working on Face Unlock for Pixel 6 series
The Google Pixel 6 duo still don’t have Face Unlock over half a year since their initial launch. According to rumors, Google was planning to add facial recognition to their phones. However, it missed the deadline and shipped the flagship devices without this feature. There might still be some hope though as XDA Recognized Developer Freak07 found new evidence of Face Unlock on Pixel 6 series while digging through the Android 12 Quarterly Platform Release (QPR) 3 Beta.
The evidence suggests that Google might still push Face Unlock for Pixel 6 phones as a future software update but there’s no release timeframe for now. There’s also the possibility that Google is working on bringing facial recognition to a future Pixel phone and is testing out the feature on a Pixel 6 device. Based on previous evidence, Face Unlock on Pixel 6 was using up too much power during the facial recognition stage.
