Today, two types of security are available in smartphones. Almost all phones have fingerprint and face lock feature. In many phones, these features are a little advanced, while in some, they are regular. For example, some phones have regular fingerprint sensors, while some have ultrasonic sensors. Similarly, some mobiles have Face ID, while some have Face ID with iris scanner. Sometimes the fingerprint sensor does not work as usual. In such a situation, a lot of trouble arises. Today we are telling you about five tips with the help of which you can fix the fingerprint scanner at home….
Clean the screen and fingerprint sensor
Use a microfiber cloth to clean the screen and fingerprint sensor. If your phone has a fingerprint scanner on the back and has a cover on it, remove it as the cover may block the fingerprint sensor.
Keep track of fingerprint location
Many times we place our finger around the fingerprint scanner in a hurry, which is not the right way. This can cause problems for the scanner to recognize the finger and the phone will not be unlocked. The position of the finger should be correct to unlock the phone quickly. Place your finger on the fingerprint sensor in a clean and stable manner.
Do not try to press the fingerprint too much. Try to press gently and correctly. If you are facing such problem again and again and you have not set your fingerprint correctly, then you can go to the fingerprint settings and set it again.
Set up alternate fingerprint
Some smartphone models limit setting two or more fingerprints, so try setting alternate fingerprints.
Mobile Updates
Update your smartphone's operating system and security patches, as sometimes software updates can fix localized problems with the fingerprint sensor.
Restart the phone
If the fingerprint scanner is not working and all the above solutions haven’t solved the problem, you can reboot your phone.
