Only Android's photographic "facial recognition" needs ambient light to work.

But either way, fingerprint scanners are a thing of the past as it's easy for someone to get access to the contents of your phone without your consent.
Kids can easily use your finger to unlock the phone when you are asleep, and "security" personnel and other people can just force you to touch the fingerprint sensor and unlock your phone even if you don't want to.

So as long as someone can access your data without your consent, that means the security features you have on your device are not secure at all.

The only solution is to use both facial scanning and iris scanning at the same time.

    AnonD-632062, 05 Jul 2017Shamelessly Apple-inspired icons. Yes, even the 'fingerprint scanning' visual design is all Apple. Even the animations. Everything.

    Not to mention that fingerprint scanning is not secure at all.

        People relax you don't have to turn on the screen first. This is where Apple's and Samsung's tactic feedback comes in. The S8 screen can be turned on by pressing where the phone button is even when the screen is off.
