To keep the data safe in your smartphone, we often use a password or fingerprint lock. Fingerprint lock is a secure method, but sometimes it does not work properly and it becomes difficult to unlock the phone. Below we give five tips on how you can fix the fingerprint scanner:

Clean the screen and fingerprint sensor: Use a microfiber cloth to clean the screen and fingerprint sensor. If your phone has a rear-facing fingerprint scanner and you have a cover on the phone, remove it as the cover may block the fingerprint sensor.

Take care of fingerprint placement: Instead of placing your finger around the fingerprint scanner, place it correctly. You have to be careful to make the scanner helpful in detecting the finger.

Set up an alternate fingerprint: Some smartphone models limit setting two or more fingerprints, so try setting up an alternate fingerprint.

Update software: Update your smartphone's operating system and security patches, as sometimes software updates can fix fingerprint sensor issues.
