As predicted.... watch the developers.
Tom's Guide - Google making a true rival to Apple Face ID
There’s also an option for multiple profiles, so several users could be detected by a single device and get their own personalized searches and recommendations, once they’d set themselves up on the device, if Google’s existing Voice Match technology is anything to go by.
On a similar note, code divers examining Android Q, the successor to Android Pie that’s currently released to developers on a limited basis, found code relating to scanning faces. (XDA, via Engadget).
Much like Apple’s FaceID, this would give Android devices the ability to use face recognition for multiple security uses, like unlocking the phone, or authorizing purchases via apps.
The presence of relevant code in the Google app also means this will apply to smart home technology as well, whether you’re using a phone or a smart hub with a camera as your control method. We should know more come Google I/O 2019, which kicks off May 7.
