I'm using the expo-local-authentication module for biometrics authentication. I want to authenticate users with FaceId on my android device.

As per the LocalAuthentication documentation, I'm using the LocalAuthentication.supportedAuthenticationTypesAsync() method to determine what kinds of authentications are available on the device. On my devices it only returns [1], which means my devices support TouchID. If it returns [1,2] that means the device has both types supported (TouchId & Facial Recognition).

I'm wondering why it says my phone is only supporting TouchId even though I have a face unlock feature on my device.

My device Info:

Model Name: Vivo Y83,
Model Number: Vivo 182,
Android version: 8.1.0

This module doesn't support Facial Recognition on android. It has nothing to do with your device model.
