Well, this might be disappointing for Pocophone F1 users who are unable to use the face unlock feature. Face data is part of privacy laws, so that’s the reason. So they need to make amendments with the regional governments before using these services. For this, the moderator stated that Poco is now a standalone brand and it has to make arrangements with the regional governments in order to enable the feature. The user further questioned that other Xiaomi devices have the face unlock feature enabled in the same region. There are many threads in this subforum which discuss this question, so kindly check that out. As explained in the comment above, Xiaomi has to comply with regional laws from various governments and that’s the reason some features are not available. The moderator stated that in compliance with the regional authorities, Xiaomi has made some features unavailable. This was also confirmed pretty recently by a Mi community moderator.Ī Pocophone F1 user took to the Mi community to get some clarity as to why the face unlock feature is not supported in their region. This means that Xiaomi is indeed treating Poco as a separate brand. However, other Xiaomi phones in the same regions have this feature enabled. There are various workarounds for this and the most simple one is changing the region on the device. The feature has been unavailable for the Poco F1 in some regions because the privacy laws prohibit its usage.
After some time, the OEM introduced the Persistent Lockscreen feature which unlocked the device yet kept the lock screen on, requiring a swipe gesture to unlock. Pocophone F1, also known as Poco F1 in India, also came out with its own IR face unlocking mechanism. Xiaomi released its face unlock feature via an update and the Redmi Note 5 Pro was one of the very first devices to pick it up. The feature was later re-branded as Trusted Face in Android 5.0 Lollipop but OEMs have been creating their own features to attract average users. However, the face unlock mechanism has been around since Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Google’s payment and fingerprint APIs were introduced in Android 6 Marshmallow back in 2015.
