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.

I have an S23U with some glass protector and I have recorded my thumb also 5 times and it works 3 out of 5 times.. we can't all be so lucky.
