Step 5: Once done, you will be asked to confirm if you want to allow Google Drive to use Face ID.

Step 6: Confirm and voila! The Google Drive app will start asking to scan your face every time you open it.

How to Change Google Privacy Screen Duration

Once you've set up the privacy screen, Google Drive will always ask for Face ID to access the default app. This means that even if you accidentally quit the app, you'll have to unlock Google Drive with Face ID again, which can get quite annoying at times. To avoid this, you can also set a certain amount of time after which you want your Google Drive to lock automatically.
