TL;DR
- A Reddit report suggests the Pixel 9a may be getting screen-off fingerprint unlock.
- The feature lets you unlock your phone without first waking the display.
- The option was previously limited to the Pixel 9 series, with the Pixel 9a missing out.
Pixel phones are updated with handy tricks fairly regularly, but not all of them make it to every model. When your device misses out on a feature that its Google counterparts get, you might assume it’s never coming, but a new report suggests one fingerprint unlock option may have quietly reached the Pixel 9a.
