Pixel 7 pro/ pin unlock

[jace1969]

When you put your pin in to unlock your phone, can you bypass pressing the arrow (confirm) to unlock it.
I did use Face i.d but not the best and hard to use fingerprint as i do a lot of garden work with results in my fingerprint changing a lot (dirt/or scrubbing hands) etc.

Also, does anyone still use Nova Launcher these days, as the stock seems a lot better.

I don't believe that's possible on a Pixel phone. It's interesting that Chromebooks will unlock as soon as you finish typing the last correct digit of your PIN, but not Pixels. Send feedback to Google about this.

I think that feature might be coming in Android 14...

You can on android 14 but you have to have at least a 6digit pin

It used to be that way years ago and for some reason they made it where you had to press the arrow after. And yes, I still use Nova. Main reason is I like multiple home screen pages, and stock launcher doesn't give me that.

I still use Nova because I can't stand the unremovable Google search bar, plus customizations of the home and app screens.

I used to use Nova ages ago and thinking of getting it again, same as above to remove the Google search bar and the time/date so i can put my own widget.
It will be good that this option is coming on the Android 14,i came off a Samsung when on android which i always had this where you just put in the pin.
Thanks for the replies.
