It seems like Apple is planning to use facial recognition in order to unlock mobile devices. The news came when a patent document came to light in which the program is described as a way to use selfie camera to unlock mobile devices. Android smartphone also have a similar feature called smart lock. However, Google says it isn’t as secure because someone who looks like you could be able to unlock your device. Same goes for Apple’s new program. Its success depends on how they implement this technology. Source: AppleNews.
My iPhone 6 doesn't even recognise my thumb print sometimes so I'm guessing it will mistake me for Margaret Thatcher.
