The Korean company Samsung launched it a few days ago One UI 6.1 interface update. Although it brings many new AI features and UI improvements, it also introduces some bugs.
Indeed, a few people noticed that their Galaxy S23 started experiencing issues with the fingerprint sensor after installing the update. Samsung admitted this.
Samsung will fix the fingerprint issue in One UI 6.1 on the Galaxy S23
Samsung said in its community forum (via @tarunvats33) It is already aware of the fingerprint sensor related issues occurring on some Galaxy S23 units after installing the One UI 6.1 update.
The company plans to fix this issue through a software update in the near future. While the company did not reveal the specific timeframe for the update, it is possible that it will be fixed with an April 2024 update.
Currently, only the Galaxy S24, Galaxy Z Flip 5, and Galaxy Z Fold 5 have received the April 2024 update. It could be released for the Galaxy S23 series in the next few days.
What is the problem with the fingerprint sensor on the Galaxy S23?
Some users have reported that when they wake up their phone by pressing the power button or double tapping the screen, the fingerprint sensor does not appear.
Even when users try to place their finger where the fingerprint icon is supposed to be, the screen does not unlock.
Once they lift their finger, the fingerprint icon finally appears on the screen, and users can then place their finger on the screen to unlock the device.
