Need help setting up face recognition on your Galaxy S20 Facebook application? Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to activate Facebook Face Recognition on the Galaxy S20 handset.

Logging into your account can be a bit of a challenge, especially if you’re the type of person who easily forgets. Thankfully, most of not all essential apps are already programmed to make the used-to-be complicated login process more effortless. Popular social media apps like Facebook for instance, do offer a new login feature called face recognition.

As the name implies, it allows you to log into your Facebook account using your face. It’s definitely better than entering your account’s password for every sign in attempt. If you haven’t used this feature on your new Samsung Galaxy flagship phone, I’ve mapped out a quick guide to help you get started. Read on for more detailed instructions.

The following steps will help you set up and use another method to log into your Facebook account on Galaxy S20 through the app’s security feature called Face Recognition. Here’s how to configure your phone to easily unlock your Facebook account using this feature.

Launch the Facebook app on your phone.

Scroll down to the Privacy section then tap Face Recognition.
A new screen prompting you to review the face recognition setting will be displayed next.
