Original Abstract Submitted

Embodiments of this application relate to the terminal field, and provide a method and an apparatus for facial recognition so as to improve security of facial recognition. The method is applied to an electronic device, where the electronic device includes a TOF camera module, and the TOF camera module includes a transmitter configured to transmit a light signal. The method includes: receiving a first operation by a user, where the first operation is used to trigger the TOF camera module to work; controlling the transmitter to work at a first current value; controlling, in a case that the transmitter is working at a first current value, the transmitter to work at a second current value, where the second light intensity is higher than the first light intensity.
