Google routes to the removal of the audio matching feature of the Android system

According to the disassembly process of Google 9to5 APK, Google seems to gradually remove the option of matching audio to unlock the phone "Unlock with voice match". The first indication is that this option disappears on Google Pixel 3 and Google Pixel 3 XL.

Version 8.39 of the Android application contains text with the following change: "The audio matching feature you have unlocked has been replaced by a more secure feature for better personal results when your device is locked. change that in your Google Assistant settings. "

This feature has been around for a while. The idea is that Google recognizes your voice, which allows you to talk to Google Assistant without having to unlock your device. Unlock with the Voice Match feature is a feature that allows you to call the Google Assistant to open a Google Maps account when you unlock your screen. When you turn on this feature, Google warns you that unlocking the phone by matching the sound is a less secure option because analog audio or voice recording can mislead this feature.
