When the sensor can’t read the fingerprint
Fix a problem
Problem: Sometimes the sensor can’t read my fingerprints.
Each finger has a unique print. If you’ve added only one fingerprint, add more for other fingers you want to use with
the sensor.
The sensor may have trouble reading fingerprints if:
•
Your finger is wet, oily, dirty, overly-dry, or injured
•
You added protective film to your screen
If a registered fingerprint isn't working as expected,
and re-add the fingerprint. If your finger is injured, add
fingerprints for your other fingers and use them until healed.
Problem: Fingerprint option disappeared from Security menu.
After each troubleshooting step, check to see if your issue is fixed.
