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!
