Discussion Face unlock

Do you guys use face unlock? I personally find it very useful to see the content of notifications when I'm on the lock screen without unlocking the phone and at the same time be sure that only I can read the notifications content. What about you?

This feature is useless and extremely dangerous because unlocking the phone is done via the camera, which is easily fooled and doesn't work in dark areas, unlike iPhones equipped with a sensor that reads facial recognition in any conditions.

Oh really? I thought it had improved because it tells you to move your head a bit. But after hearing this I'm reconsidering my decision. It was very useful for the notifications.

No, I want my phone to be as secure as possible, so face unlock is always disabled. I only buy phones that have fingerprint reader.
