According to a Wednesday report by Android Police, Samsung is now rolling out patches to customers, urging its customers support app (Samsung Members) to update their phones to the latest software version, which will fix the biometric authentication glitch.
“Samsung is releasing a software patch to fix fingerprint issues on Galaxy Note10, Note10+, S10, S10+, and S10 5G devices,” Samsung said on a note on Samsung Members. “If you have registered a fingerprint on one of these devices, you will receive a notification with instructions. This update is being sent out gradually, so you may not receive the notification immediately.”
Samsung Galaxy S10 and Note10 users, for their part, are urged to look out for an update notification on their devices called “Biometrics Update.” Once they click on “Update,” they will be instructed to delete all previously registered fingerprints from their phone with covers on the phone, and re-register them without a cover applied to the phone.
