Android 15 can delete your face or fingerprint unlock when they aren’t working well and then prompt you to set them up again.

TL;DR

  • Strings in the latest Android 15 beta suggest the OS can automatically delete biometrics that aren’t working well.
  • Android will delete your face or fingerprint unlock when they aren’t working well and then prompt you to set them up again.
  • We don’t know how the OS determines when a biometric isn’t working well or if this feature is even live yet in the latest Android 15 beta, though.

    Yeah I recently picked up a Pixel 6 Pro and the fingerprint reader works well. You do need to press down somewhat firmly sometimes, maybe people aren’t and that’s why they’re having issues?

      I have a pixel 7 and it’s totally garbage. I read a tip that you should set your fingerprint with the brightness on as low as it goes, and in a dark room. It’s better with that tip, but still shite.
