Set up Face Recognition

Besides the option to unlock the realme smartphone with the set unlock method or fingerprint, we can also set up facial unlock. 

Here, the biometric data is registered and stored via the front camera.

Note: After activation, an automatic brightness adjustment can be set, which brightens the screen in low-light conditions.

Turn On/Off Screen Illumination for Face Recognition

In dark environments, face recognition may not work, among other things, because there is not enough light for reliable recognition.
On the realme smartphone, there is the "Auto brighten screen for face recognition" feature that brightens the display, depending on the lighting conditions.

Turn On/Off Open Eyes Requirement for Face Recognition

For increased security on the realme smartphone, realme UI offers the option to enable facial recognition only with eyes open.

"Unlock only when eyes are open" can be enabled or disabled at any time.

Note: For people wearing glasses, the open eyes feature may cause problems.

Stay on Lock Screen after Face Recognition

By default, the realme smartphone is unlocked by facial recognition once the power button has been pressed, so the lock screen is not visible.
If this is not desired, the "Swipe up to unlock" option can be enabled, to keep the user on the lock screen. Only swiping up will unlock the device and redirect to the Home screen.
