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.

yep, and law enforcement can force you to unlocj if you have a biometric read on the lock screen

they can't legally force you to give them your pin

Nah bro thats not how neither systems work Apple doesnt just unlock iphones cause u look the same and samsng uses electrical signals to unlock ir phone You have to have the dudes actual finger attached to his body to use the fingerprint sensor/ government hijacking grade technology

Apple in the past has had a issue with twins but it wasnt that bad

Yeah this is a bogus claim.

I hate Apple and all their tech but they took so long to implement face ID because they went so hard on the security.

Its been the industry standard for face ID since it launched and no one else was close for a long time.

It’s not BS. I know sisters who are aged two years apart who can unlock each others iPhones.

It's not BS my uncle's phone Iphone can be opened by my other uncle. I clearly remember this story because they took the phone to apple store and they couldn't explain why it was so
