A few weeks ago, I was listening to an AC podcast that discussed the Pixel 4 and it's new face unlock features. It brought into question how many Android apps currently use face unlock vs fingerprint sensors to authenticate someone.
It's gotten me to wonder if anyone on here can speak to how many apps they have seen offer the option to face unlock.
On one hand, a lot of the apps I typically use are both Android and Apple store apps, and I'd think that those apps are more likely to offer it since iPhones have had FaceID for a while now. On the other hand, not every feature on one platform has historically made it to the other.

Thoughts?
