Enable Face Recognition on Samsung Galaxy S24 in Canada

Want a faster and more secure way to unlock your phone? With Face Recognition on the Samsung Galaxy S24, you can unlock your device instantly just by looking at it. This guide explains how to enable Face Recognition on your Galaxy S24 in Canada and optimize it for both convenience and privacy.

Step 1: Open Biometrics Settings

Go to Settings > Security and Privacy > Biometrics. Here you’ll find all available biometric options, including Face Recognition and Fingerprint Unlock.

Step 2: Set a Screen Lock Method

Before setting up Face Recognition, Samsung requires a secure backup lock method like PIN, Password, or Pattern. Choose one if you haven’t already — it’s needed for added security and in case facial unlock fails.

Step 3: Register Your Face

Tap Face Recognition and follow the on-screen instructions. Hold your Galaxy S24 at eye level and ensure your face is centered in the camera frame. The phone will scan your face from different angles to create an accurate facial profile.

Step 4: Enable Faster Recognition

Once setup is complete, you can toggle Faster Recognition for quicker unlocks. However, note that enabling this feature slightly reduces accuracy in low-light or partial-face scenarios.

Step 5: Add Alternative Looks

If you often wear glasses, hats, or masks, add an additional facial scan. Go to Settings > Security and Privacy > Biometrics > Face Recognition > Add Alternative Look to improve unlock accuracy under different conditions.

Step 6: Control App Access and Privacy

Under Settings > Security and Privacy, review which apps have permission to use biometric authentication. For extra safety, disable Face Recognition for sensitive apps. Learn more privacy controls at Security & Privacy.

Step 7: Improve Recognition in Low Light

To enhance performance in dark environments, enable Bright Screen in the Face Recognition settings. This temporarily increases display brightness to illuminate your face for accurate detection.

OnePlus Tip

For even faster access, enable Face Unlock when screen turns on under Face Recognition settings. This lets your Galaxy S24 recognize you the moment you lift the device — no need to swipe first.
