One UI 6.1.1 update causing fingerprint issues on the Galaxy S24 series. Some Korean users reported fingerprint authentication issues following the recent One UI upgrade on their Galaxy S24 series smartphone.
As spotted by SamsonSirJi/X, One UI 6.1.1 renders weird fingerprint issues on the Galaxy S24 series. Users report that the fingerprint either automatically misinterprets authentication or declines to recognize the pre-applied fingerprint.
Another concern emerged when Samsung Pay didn’t recognize fingerprints. It could also be an issue generated by the app’s software support limitations. It could be resolved by reinstalling the application from scratch.
A user claimed that the fingerprint authentication itself was performed when the phone was in the pocket. After 5 failed attempts, the device restricted fingerprint authentication. The handset could be unlocked using the primary lock method (pin or pattern).
