Can we get face-id in react native for Android devices?

Question

I was implementing biometrics in my app for authentication. I am using react-native biometrics for it. Every things working good just one stucked. Face-id is not working in Android. I did a lot of googling but unable to find some satisfactory answer. Is it even possible to use face-id in Android?

Biometrics.isSensorAvailable()
  .then((biometryType) => {
    if (biometryType === Biometrics.TouchID) {
      console.log('TouchID is supported')
    } else if (biometryType === Biometrics.FaceID) {
      console.log('FaceID is supported')
    } else {
      console.log('Biometrics not supported')
    }
  })  

This always return me TouchId even if I am using FaceId in my phone. Thank for help in advance.

I think this is because Face-Id and Touch-Id are iOS only. and you still seem to get Touch-Id working as Biometrics on android defaults to what you are using for your lock screen (sometimes it also depends on your device manufacturer) I got this info from here
