For most of the users of the Google Pixel 6 series the relationship with the fingerprint recognition scanner built into the display has been quite problematic and this even though the Google team has actually worked hard to improve its functioning through some updates. software.
Probably the developer team of the Mountain View giant will continue to work on improving the fingerprint scanner but there are many owners of Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro who hope that the US manufacturer can be persuaded to introduce an alternative solution for unlocking the device, that is Face Unlock.
The feature in question was introduced on the Google Pixel 4 series, representing the only solution available for unlocking Google's 2019 smartphones (which did not have a fingerprint scanner). This system uses 3D mapping to provide secure facial recognition, verifying the user's identity to unlock the phone, open certain applications or complete financial transactions.

Well, if at the end of March some reference to Face Unlock was found in the code of the Google operating system, thanks to a user on Reddit we could have another proof that this feature is really being implemented for the latest generation of smartphone of the Mountain View colossus.
The following is the photo taken by the user in question on the screen of his Google Pixel 6 and according to which the smartphone would have shown him a screen for unlocking the display including one based on the face among the various options available:

Basically, at the moment the possibility of the implementation of Face Unlock in Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro through a software update seems to be an increasingly probable hypothesis even if it must be taken into account that these devices do not have sensors. necessary to support 3D mapping and this means that the owners of such smartphones will have to settle for a 2D system (which can be "bypassed" by an attacker by placing a simple photo of the user in front of the device).
We will probably know more in a few weeks, stay tuned!
