Android 13 QPR1 Beta 1 hints at long-awaited face unlock for the Pixel 6 Pro

• New findings in the Android 13 QPR1 beta 1 build point toward a face unlock feature on the Pixel 6 Pro.
• Your face must be unobstructed and in clean light for the feature to work properly.
• The latest Android 13 beta build isn't expected to reach a stable release until December with the Pixel 7 series potentially receiving it before the Pixel 6 Pro.

There appears to be information about the face unlock feature on the Pixel 6 Pro device.

There appears to be some information regarding face unlock on the latest phones from the company, as the testing of the latest version of the operating system resumed after a short break. According to 9to5Google, the latest alpha build features code that explains how face unlock works, stating that it works best when there's enough light and you're not wearing glasses.

Users are required to hold the phone at eye level to begin the scans. Face unlock is "less secure than a strong pattern, PIN, or password" according to a warning by the search engine.

The lack of specialized hardware is the reason for this. Someone can unlock your phone if they look like you or if you're asleep. Specific hardware that provides secure face unlock was found in the phones of the iPhone, G8, and the Pixel 4. This hardware has been featured in theiPhone.

The feature is being referred to as Traffic Light in the latest build.

We've been waiting for the face unlock feature to be included in thePixel 6 Pro. There were early rumors that the feature was still a possibility. Several examples of the feature are still being worked on.

The face unlocking feature will only start once you've made it past the phone's always on display to your lock screen, according to additional information found in the latest build.

We don't expect to see a stable release until December, which is when the next feature drop is expected to be. After the launch of the new Pixel 7 series, this would happen. It's possible that the face unlock feature will land first on the new flagship devices before it arrives on thePixel 6 Pro. It is not expected on the devices.

There is no guarantee that the feature will arrive this time around, as it has appeared in previous builds. We'll keep our eyes open.
