Samsung smartphones with the One UI interface offer Face Recognition, which can be used not only to unlock your device but also to access apps and verify digital payments. Sometimes, users may want to enable or disable this feature for specific apps to maintain better security and privacy. This guide explains step-by-step how to manage Face Recognition for apps on Samsung devices.

🔹 1. Check if Face Recognition is Enabled

First, make sure Face Recognition is active on your device:

Path: Settings > Biometrics and security > Face recognition

Here, you can view, delete, or re-register your face. Security options like Faster recognition and Require eyes open help control the performance and security of face authentication.

🔹 2. Enable or Disable Face Recognition for Apps

To manage app access to Face Recognition:

Path: Settings > Biometrics and security > Other apps

  • You will see a list of apps that support Face Recognition.

  • Toggle the switch next to each app to allow or restrict Face Recognition for that app.

🔹 3. Practical Examples

  • Banking and Finance Apps: Enable Face Recognition for quick and secure access.

  • Messaging and Social Media Apps: Disable Face Recognition if you prefer additional privacy, requiring only a password to log in.

  • Samsung Pay or Digital Payments: Activating Face Recognition allows fast and secure transactions.

🔹 4. Important Notes When Using Face Recognition

  • Face Recognition alone may not be fully secure and could potentially be bypassed with photos or similar-looking faces. Combining it with a PIN or Pattern is recommended.

  • In low light or when wearing a mask, Face Recognition may struggle. Use Alternate Appearance to register a second facial profile.

  • Disabling Face Recognition for apps ensures that login is possible only with a password.

🔹 5. Remove or Change Face Recognition Settings

To remove or adjust Face Recognition settings for a specific app:

Path: Settings > Biometrics and security > Other apps
