- The first public Android 13 beta brings face unlock references on the Pixel 6 Pro.
- These are only references and it’s not possible to actually set up and use face unlock yet.
It seems like the pending arrival of face unlock on the Google Pixel 6 series is one of the industry’s worst-kept secrets, as the tech has been referenced in retailer listings, Google’s own code, and during device setup.
Now, YouTuber M Brandon Lee of This Is Tech Today has reported that the newly released Android 13 beta 1 has references to face unlock on the Pixel 6 Pro. Lee cautions that these are all just splash screens or references found in the settings, and that you can’t actually set up face unlock on the device. Check out his screenshot below.
