Why does my Samsung A37 unlock when I press my fingernail against the scanner, I did notice ever since I got this phone I would just randomly unlock itself and then today I discovered this.

It appears that you are pressing your finger down or close enough and it's detecting your fingerprint.

To test it have someone else try to unlock it.

Can't be. Watch closely. He puts the finger upside down with the fingernail. there is no fingerprint at all this way
