When activated, only the icons of the android applications that sent the alert will be shown on the lock screen, and the message itself will be hidden. You can see it only after identification. Saves from prying eyes.

The smartphone will require activation even when the incoming notification turns on the display. Consumes the charge faster, but increases privacy.

Pay attention! In order for app blocking to work, you need to first enable recognition for the entire device (described above).

Restrictions of the face recognition function

Restrictions on lighting conditions

Identification will not take place if there is not enough light. Do you have to work in the dark? Leave an alternative path: fingerprint, pin code.

Restrictions when using accessories

Extra accessories that hide your face can interfere with scanning. Before identification, remove hats, zero glasses, colored lenses. Leave only what you wear all the time.

Restrictions by face makeup

Girls, be vigilant! Overly bright makeup that radically changes the appearance will definitely prevent the first scan. Your smartphone may not be available if there is no other way to unlock it.

Summing up the results

Do you want to increase privacy? Enable recognition for android devices and apps. Always remove unnecessary accessories when using. Leave only everyday makeup. Check the lighting.
