Leaked code suggests Google is reportedly working to bring secure facial recognition support to Android Q.Code discovered in a leaked build of the upcoming 17th version of the search giant's Android operating system hints at native support for facial recognition, according to XDA.The Android Q system would be used to sign into your phone, authorize purchases and sign in to apps, XDA reported. It'd be much like Apple's Face ID technology, introduced with 2017's iPhone X.hile Apple's Face ID relies on Infrared camera, dot projector and flood illuminator, the Android Q, on the other hand, is about to include support for Android flagship manufacturers to put these sensors natively with their upcoming smartphones.However, there's no guarantee that the system will end up on Android Q. Earlier this month, a previous Android Q leak reportedly showed a systemwide dark mode and a new permissions structure to give you more control over app-related privacy.
