Moto Face Unlock hits Play Store, but it might not be compatible with your handset
June 12, 2025
ManyMoto phonesalready have pre-installedfacial recognitionfunctionality, but the brand has decided to bring a new Moto Face Unlock app to the Play Store anyway (h/t:Android Police).
The app appears to use only the single front camera for authentication, so don’t expect anything as advanced as Apple’s Face ID or even Samsung’s Intelligent Scan technology. Nevertheless, you’ll need to visit your device’ security settings menu to give the feature a try, Lenovo says on the Play Store listing.
In theory, the Moto Face Unlock app means Lenovo can update the function’s speed and reliability without actually pushing out a full-fledged system update. In fact, the app listing notes “performance improvements and minor bug fixes” in this version of the app already.
As for compatibility,PhoneArenareports that the app is available on theMoto G6, Moto G6 Play, Moto G6 Plus,Moto Z3,Moto Z3 Play, andMoto X4. So if you’ve got a Moto E-series device or an older Moto Z phone, it seems like you’re out of luck for now.
