Does LocalAuthentication support facial recognition? #11359
Comments
Hey @schmru, if the device has facial recognition support than the I'm going to close this issue. For future reference, please direct questions like this one to our forums as we keep github issues reserved for reproducible and actionable bug reports. If you find that the device is enrolled and has facial recognition support but the module says otherwise, we can re-open this issue. Cheers, |
@AdamJNavarro in Android when you have both, touch id and face id configured, the authenticateAsync method it only asks for finger id. That being said, is there any way to define what is the biometric method I wanna use?

Hello, I am trying to implement facial recognition with LocalAuthentication for my app. My coworker has Samsung Galaxy A70 which he can unlock using facial recognition, but when it comes to my app it says he only has fingerprint supported. I added USE_BIOMETRIC to AndroidManifest but and am trying this on expo client.
Should I build an apk so that we can test this or should I add something else to the code, so that the application will recognise he also has facial recognition avaliable?
