Large iPhone notches are kinda ugly compared to the simpler notches in most other Android phones. Also, maybe there’s tons of patents by Apple. Could be why I don’t think I’ve ever heard of an Android phone that does more than a simple 2D facial scan with the normal camera

I don’t understand why “FaceID” isn’t more of a stardard on Android. I remember people online complaining when Apple got rid of TouchID on their phones, yet anyone who use FaceID quickly forget that fingerprint skanners are a thing. It works so fast and you don’t have to complain about where a sensor might be on a device, if you can see the screen the screen the device is unlocked.

My friend got an nudged android and it seems very bad implemented where it covers content in many apps and it had no functionality like it does on iPhone. On iPhone it’s part of the notification system showing you info from other apps, for an example the timer app shows the time while cooking in nudge while I am on lemmy. Yes on a side by side screenshot it seems alot worse than using my old Motorola next to my IPhone, the “dead pixel” nudge on Android seem to annoy people alot more

Not quite, you have to have the camera angled at your face. If the phone is flat on your desk it won’t unlock unless you lean right over it.

I don’t usually use my phone while it’s flat on a table, but I can say FaceID does work at an angle, because I just tap the screen and it reads my face and shows me notifications (I don’t have always on turned on and have hidden notifikation content behind the login as well)

Because you could unlock anyone’s phone with a photograph of their face.

Ah like in the movies!? I saw a movie where they got someone’s pass code by watching them type it from a satalite, trough a windows 😅
It’s not how any of those work.

Try reading one of these some time instead of being a pretentious dumbass dipshit:
tomsguide.com/…/phone-face-unlock-photo,news-2896…
androidauthority.com/face-unlock-photo-smartphone…
forbes.com/…/many-android-phones-can-be-unlocked-…
To bypass FaceID depth check you simply wrap a photo around a foam mannequin head and ensure the eye sockets are darkened and the lips around has depth and it will work.

Fair point, however None of those are FaceID by Apple, all links are Android in either title/link or subtitle on the page. You did answer by question: why people don’t use face unlock on Android is they are horribly implemented vs FaceID on iPhones, so I will apologize for being pretentious!

It became a big thing on android just before covid happened. Unfortunately, masks completely confused it.
I currently have both active on my phone, it’s about 50/50 which unlocks it first. I tend to unlock my phone as I bring it out of my pocket via fingerprint. If that fails, then face ID kicks in.

Apple quickly implemented a Mask FaceID scan so you could unlock with mask, I used that or just swiped my watch for payments etc. I did see quite a few android friends go back to fingerprint I remember

It took them a few years, if I remember right, though they did add the unlock-with-watch pretty early.

I looked it up and you are totally right, it was in 2022 which wouldn’t have been as fast as I remembered/wrote before!

The unlocking flow is slower. With the fingerprnt scannerb I just put my finger on the screen and go. With face recognition, I have to turn on the screen, wait for it to pick me up, then swipe to unlock.

That might be an android flow, not ios. On my iPhone I pick up th phone and it turns on screens by itself and unlock instantly
