How to enable Galaxy Note10+ Face Recognition

Although it is not exactly laborious to unlock a Galaxy Note10+ screen by pressing a button, it may now seem unnecessary since you can now unlock using your face. Galaxy Note10+ Face Recognition feature makes your phone more functional than ever but it’s not without a cost. It is less secure than other screen unlock options like PIN, password, fingerprint or pattern but if you want a secondary way to unlock, it will do.

Face Recognition feature works great with Lift to wake feature. If you plan on using this feature, be sure to also enable Life to wake.
