Using Samsung A13, when I got the phone, it got this issue, When I save my finger print, the finger print reader show the finger print correctly for one next, the very next day, when I touch the finger print sensor, it doesn't recognize it. After the security update, the fingerprint sensor started to work normally. I used it for few days without any issues. The now after the last security update, fingerprint sensor again working like before

Dear Samsung Member,

Greetings from Samsung Customer Support!

As per your concern, we would like to inform you that the latest software update has been developed to enhance both the performance and stability of your smartphone. This update has undergone thorough testing at various stages to ensure reliability.

While we acknowledge that issues can arise due to individual usage patterns and other factors, we want to assure you that our dedicated customer support team is always here to assist you in resolving any concerns that may occur post-update.

Please follow these easy troubleshooting steps which may help in resolving this issue:

● Ensure that your fingers are clean and dry.
Note: If the skin on your fingertips is peeling or cracking, or your fingerprint is difficult to capture, the fingerprint ID on your phone may not work.

● If your fingerprints fail to unlock the phone while the phone is recharging, remove it from the charger and try again. If you are charging the phone with a charger and data cable from other brands when you use fingerprints to unlock the phone, they may interfere with the fingerprint sensor and cause the recognition to fail.

● Clean the fingerprint sensor with a soft cloth. Make sure the fingerprint sensor is dry and free from any debris that may cause the sensor to be unable to recognize the fingerprint.

● Remove the current fingerprint and set up the fingerprint again. When you touch the sensor to set up a fingerprint, make sure you set the entire fingerprint, including the outer area of your fingertip. Setting the entire fingerprint area enables successful fingerprint recognition with any grip.

● How to remove Fingerprint: Path: Settings> Biometrics and Security> Fingerprints> Fingerprint1> Remove> Remove again to confirm.

● How to Set up Fingerprint: Path: Settings>Biometrics and Security> Fingerprints> Fingerprint> Scan your fingerprint> Place your finger on the sensor, then lift it off when you feel a vibration> Continue> Reposition your finger each time to capture the edge of your fingerprint> Done> Fingerprint added successfully.
