Although Google Pixel 4 has many powerful black technology features and specifications, after its release, it was discovered that its face unlock function can be used with eyes closed, which raised some questions about its safety. In this regard, at the end of last year, the official promised to bring corresponding solutions. Now it seems that the solution to this can be seen in the upcoming Android 11, the latest Google mobile system.

Android 11 finally adds an “eyes-open” face unlock security mechanism to Pixel 4
I believe most people appreciate the convenience of face unlocking (although wearing a mask is a bit troublesome now XD), but if it is so convenient that you can unlock it without even opening your eyes, then it seems a little unsafe. Although the phone is equipped with laser detection Soli, in the early days of its release, the facial recognition function of Pixel 4 has actually been discovered that it does not detect whether the face in front of the screen has its eyes open, which has raised questions about security. After all, if it can be unlocked while sleeping or…, it is indeed a bit of a cool biological unlocking function.

In this regard, the “eyes-open” face unlock security mechanism promised by Google at the end of last year has now been discovered in the second developer preview of Android 11. It is said that among the latest Face unlock face unlock options, users will be able to find the “Require eyes to be open” switch, which means that the eyes must be detected before they can be used. Maybe it is for faster unlocking speed. It is said that in Android 11 DP2, the current default is still off, and there seems to be a little bug. You will need to go back to the options to confirm whether it is turned on normally (the simplest test is to close your eyes to unlock XD).

According to further testing by Android Police, this feature can be supported regardless of whether you wear glasses and in most light source environments, and will require a certain degree of eye opening. Although it currently seems that Google is planning to wait until Android 11 to provide this enhanced face unlock function, but maybe after the test on DP2 is completed, there will be a chance to see it in the next Android 10 or Pixel Feature Drop.
