The answer

The default ruling is the permissibility of using modern devices. However, a woman must not use the face recognition feature if it will reveal her hair or any part of her body that must be covered, due to the possibility of non- men seeing her images and her data being leaked. She can suffice with a fingerprint or a secret passcode.
