Protecting all the information and personal data that we accumulate on our mobiles seems to be fundamental since, throughout the life of the terminal, it is not small or of little relevance. Email messages , chats in different applications, contacts, photos or videos or even data to make payments are some of them..
To protect all this information the traditional methods that we have always used have been the pattern, pin and password for unlocking the main screen of the terminal; but as technology has evolved, these methods have become more refined, sophisticated and safe; being the unlocking with the fingerprint one of the most used by users because it is a very safe method so that nobody can access the information that we keep in our terminal.
In addition to this, facial unlocking allows us to unlock our phone using our facial features, which are also unique and unrepeatable as is the case of the fingerprint. For this reason today in TechnoWikis we will explain how to configure and activate facial unlocking and how to erase facial data in case you do not want to use it on the Android Xiaomi Mi 8 Pro mobile..
