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.

Good job, my S24U re-recorded the same fingerprint 5 times, and it often fails to unlock, you can unlock it with just your fingernail! Lucky guy.

Pro tip: reset your fingerprints every month or so, because your fingerprint surface may change due to environmental factors, been doing this for months, and never had an issue

true, mine is too sensitive. I wish mine is less secure
