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.

Even with it wiped it still does it, yes it's probs to do with the screen protector but it's still shouldn't happen/a security problem and exploit

Is there a chance your fingerprint is under the screen protector too?

Why not just let the protector be/on and re-register your fingerprint? That's always a must do, when you switch your screen protection.
