I'm curious why, what does face unlock do for you that fingerprint doesn't?

If I'm unlocking my phone, I have my hands on my phone, so using my fingerprint isn't a hassle. Plus with COVID and needing to wear masks, I can still unlock my phone easily without needing to pull down my mask.

I got sweaty hands and that doesn't work with TouchID. FaceID has been great, well at least until COVID. I'd really prefer both.

Similar situation for me (but I have dry hands).

Fingerprint sensors stop recognizing after about a week - so I prefer Face Unlock.
