Setting up Face Unlock
To set up Face Unlock on your Google Pixel 7a, open the Settings app and go to Security & location. Then, scroll down to the Biometrics section and tap on Face Unlock. If you haven’t already set up a screen lock, you’ll be prompted to do so now. Once you’ve set up a screen lock, you’ll be able to enable Face Unlock.
Using Face Unlock
Once Face Unlock is set up, you can use it to unlock your phone just by looking at it. To do so, simply wake up your phone and hold it up to your face. The phone will then scan your face and unlock the device if it recognizes you. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to enter your screen lock pin, pattern, or password.
Improving Face Unlock
Face Unlock is more secure if it can recognize you in different lighting conditions and from different angles. To improve Face Unlock, go to the Settings app and select Security & location. Then, tap on Face Unlock and select Improve face matching. From here, you’ll be able to scan your face in different lighting conditions and from different angles. The more Face Unlock can recognize you, the more secure it will be.
Security Concerns
One concern with Face Unlock is that someone could unlock your phone while you’re sleeping. To prevent this, you can go to the Settings app and select Security & location. Then, tap on Face Unlock and toggle off the Allow face unlock when device is off setting. With this setting disabled, your phone will require a pin, pattern, or password to unlock even when your face is recognized.
Alternatives to Face Unlock
If you’re concerned about the security of Face Unlock or just don’t like it, there are other options available. You can use a traditional pin, pattern, or password to unlock your phone. Or, you can use the fingerprint sensor if your phone has one. To change your screen lock, go to the Settings app and select Security & location. Then, scroll down to the Screen lock section and tap on the screen lock method you want to use.

Face Unlock is a handy feature, but it’s not perfect. For one, it can be fooled by a photo of your face. Additionally, it might not work well in low-light conditions. For these reasons, you might want to stick with a traditional screen lock method.
Assuming you’ve already set up a screen lock, you can enable Face Unlock by going to Settings > Security & location > Face Unlock. If you haven’t set up a screen lock, you’ll be prompted to do so before you can enable Face Unlock.
Once Face Unlock is enabled, you can unlock your phone by holding it up to your face. The phone will use the front-facing camera to look for your face, and if it recognizes you, it will unlock the phone.
If you’re in a situation where you can’t use Face Unlock (for example, if you’re in a dark room), you can still unlock your phone using your PIN, pattern, or password.
One thing to keep in mind is that Face Unlock is less secure than a PIN, pattern, or password, so you shouldn’t use it if you’re concerned about someone being able to unlock your phone without your permission.
