Face Recognition - Add option to 'Swipe to enter Home Screen'
dsg38
Level 1
Hello. The face unlock is working well. But I was hoping an additional setting could be added. Currently, I often want to use the lock screen audio controls for example. However, the face unlock is so fast that it unlocks just as I go to press a button. Then I have to swipe down from the home screen to get my audio controls back. This is especially annoying when I'm on a run.
Activating the 'Face recognition - Show notifications' setting solves this, but then it means I can't glance at my phone when it's on my desk to see notifications (i.e. I want my notifications to be visible on the lock screen).
So could you add a setting which nuances this a bit called e.g. 'Face Recognition - Swipe up to enter Home screen'?
Thanks in advance!
PS: I think this user might also be requesting the same feature - but not 100% clear: https://zentalk.asus.com/en/discussion/51692/face-unlock-notification#latest

I'm having exactly the same problem. Only a small feature so 🤞they can implement it.
Upvoted for you 👍
Yes, I would like this option too! :-)
Yeah this should be an option!
Yes please do this!! This is the default behaviour on iphone with face unlock. Much more convenient. Plus it should hopefully be very simple for Asus to implement.
Yeah and it's an option on OnePlus too.
Asus should make such feature possible, I hate looking at my phone at night and can't see notifications because the phone can't recognizes my face, OR unlocking my phone immediately by looking at it even though i just want to check the notifications. Ah so frustrating..
These are the reason I never use face ID
Yeah this is really driving me crazy
The easy short term solution is to use our Gestures
Settings - Advanced - Gestures : Music Control
It allows you to control the music playback using gestures on the screen, when it is off.
Thanks @CH_ASUS - that is a partial solution. But still frustrating when you just want to glance at your phones lock screen to read your notifications (which i do 100x times a day) and the face unlock is so quick to jump you to the home screen that you can't read your notifications.
@CH_ASUS - any idea whether this might get implemented as a option for face unlock in a future software upgrade? (or should I give up hope!)
Sure, as you say, it is either or at this moment. So either allow Face unlock to detect face to read notifications -> solves the "jump straight to home screen" but downside is you cannot just "turn on the phone" and glance at the screen without the face being infront.
And inversely, it will be very fast instead.
As for if or when a feature is added - we really cant say as it is not a given that all suggestions get implemented but the higher voted ones will of course get more consideration.
In earnest, I would not expect this feature in the short term.
@CH_ASUS - ok understood, thanks for the info
What about 3 years software support extensions on all zenfone model starting from Zenfone 5z. The thread which got closed after sometime that thread got the highest number of votes and comments then why did ASUS have done nothing about that yet??
Here is the thread with 105 votes👇👇
But ASUS Doesnt care??
We are waiting for positive response from ASUS just like ROG 2
Thanks...!!! @CH_ASUS
Zenfone 5Z got 2 OS updates, as committed to.
Zenfone 6 got 2 OS Updates.
ROG Phone II - is getting its 2nd OS Update.
