Dog Unlocks Smartphone with Owner’s Face
One family in Seattle was shocked when their Labrador, Max, was caught on their indoor security cam unlocking a smartphone—using his owner’s sleeping face. The footage showed Max nudging the phone to the owner’s face while he was napping, unlocking it successfully, and then proceeding to nose-tap through the photo gallery, seemingly looking for his own pictures. The family later realized he had learned this trick after months of watching them use Face ID.
Max’s motivation? He was after the food delivery app. Several screen taps later, he had managed to pull up the app his owner used to order burgers. Thankfully, he didn’t complete a purchase—but it was enough to prove pets are evolving fast in a tech-driven world. The clip went viral on TikTok, sparking discussions on whether dogs might start ordering their own snacks soon.
