How to Turn ON or OFF Lift to Unlock your Android Phone & Use face to Unlock (Best Method)
1Unlocking your Android phone with your face using a "Lift to Unlock" feature involves setting up two separate features: Face Unlock (or Face Recognition) and Lift to Wake (or Raise to Wake).
The exact names and locations of these settings can vary significantly between different Android manufacturers (like Samsung, Google Pixel, OnePlus, etc.), but the general steps are outlined below.
Step 1: Set Up Face Unlock (Face Recognition)
This registers your face with the phone's security system.
Open Settings: Tap the Settings app on your phone.
Navigate to Security/Biometrics: Scroll down and tap on:
Security & privacy
Security
Biometrics and security
Find Face Recognition: Tap on the option for your screen lock, which might be called:
Face Unlock
Face recognition
Face & Fingerprint Unlock
Confirm Your Lock: You will be prompted to enter your existing PIN, pattern, or password. If you don't have one, you'll be asked to set one up first.
Register Your Face: Tap Set up (or Continue) and follow the on-screen instructions. This usually involves positioning your face inside a circle and slowly moving your head to capture different angles.
Toggle Unlock: Ensure the main toggle for Face Unlock or Unlock your phone is switched On.
Find the "Skip Lock Screen" Option (Optional but Recommended): While still in the Face Unlock settings, look for an option like:
Skip lock screen
Stay on Lock screen until swipe (If you see this, you should turn it Off to allow immediate unlock).
This setting allows the phone to go directly to the home screen after recognizing your face, completing the "one-step unlock" experience.
Step 2: Enable "Lift to Wake" (Raise to Wake)
This setting ensures the screen turns on automatically when you pick up the phone, which triggers the Face Unlock process.
Go Back to Settings: Return to the main Settings menu.
Find Gestures/Motion Settings: Scroll down and look for:
Advanced features (Common on Samsung)
System → Gestures (Common on Pixel)
Motions and gestures
Home screen & Lock screen
Locate "Lift to Wake": Within that menu, find the option labeled:
Lift to wake
Raise to wake
Lift to check phone
Enable the Feature: Tap the toggle switch to turn this feature On.
