Google responds to complaints about slow and inaccurate fingerprint scanning performance, providing a possible explanation.
Since its recent launch, the Pixel 6 range has experienced poor fingerprint scanning performance, and now Google has shed a little light on why its biosecurity feature may act a little more slowly than expected. Google’s official Twitter account replied to a tweet that complained about the Pixel 6 ‘s under-display fingerprint scanner being inaccurate, with the tech giant citing its «enhanced security algorithms» as being responsible for slower fingerprint recognition. As can be seen from the tweet, Google claims that «these added protections can take longer to verify or require more direct contact with the sensor», before pointing the original poster to its troubleshooting page. This page provides some more obvious solutions, such as ensuring you have the latest version of Android, that you press and hold your finger firmly on the sensor, and that you’re using one of the fingers you’ve actually enrolled for biometric security.
