anyone having intermittent issues with FaceUnlock?

I sometimes get the warning, no face detected, regardless of the light I am in. It once suggested I restart if I get this problem. Is it just my device?

I'm leaving this here to assist others. From a search: Turns out it is from a conflict with WhatsApp. If you have this problem, remove the permission for WhatsApp to access the camera, then return it when it next asks. It fixed it.

Update. It's not WhatsApp. Still having intermittent issues. Anyone have ideas?

Same here. Yesterday out of 20 tries it worked once. I am close to say that their implementation of face unlock is utterly crap. It works badly most the time, no matter what lighting situation my face is in.

EDIT: After I wrote this I tried it again, same problem: "No face detected".....
I let the phone sit at the same position and didnt move, rebooted and it worked. This must be some kind of bug.

I think it's related to a 3rd party app

Agreed, I have no problems.

I don't have much problem with it, as long as it's decent light.
