Imagine this: your phone’s screen is off, your fingers are ready, and all it takes is a mere tap to unlock your Pixel. That’s right, folks! Google is rolling out a feature that lets you unlock your Pixel phone with your fingerprint, even when the screen is off. Who would’ve thought that saving the extra couple of seconds of waking the screen could revolutionize our daily rituals?
According to Android Authority, this magical feature was previously reserved for when your screen did the ol’ wake-and-bake routine, but now it’s expanding its horizons. In the latest beta of Android 16, Google decided to give its Pixel 9 phones a little upgrade in the laziness department, and the rest of the Pixel fam is in line for the same treatment.
So now, instead of performing a delicate dance with your phone to get into its sacred atmosphere, you can bypass all that rigmarole. Just tap and go!
But wait—hold your horses! Is this just another gimmick to keep us glued to our devices? Or is it genuinely a step forward in our quest for technology that bends to our will? Let’s ponder that while we unlock our phones like the semi-cyborgs we are!
