I am using S23 Ultra since 1.5 Year. For the past few days, face unlock has been messed up. I have already deleted and rescanned my facial data, but the device fails to unlock after the first attempt, even after a normal power ON and OFF.
As per your concern, we would request you to kindly perform the following steps to resolve your issue.
● If you are having difficulty unlocking with Face recognition, try the face registration again.
● Glasses, hats, masks, makeup, bangs, and beards can affect the recognition process. Adding an alternative look can help the device recognize you in different situations.
● Make sure you are in a well-lit area and the camera lens is clean.
● For best results, make sure your image is not blurry.
● Face recognition is less secure than Pattern, PIN, or Fingerprint.
● Keep in mind your device can be unlocked by someone that looks similar to you (such as a twin)
● If you are having difficulty unlocking with Face recognition, try the face registration again. Remove the current face data by opening Settings, and then tapping Biometrics and security. Tap Face recognition and then enter your credentials. You can now tap Remove face data to clear the facial recognition data so that you can have a fresh start.
