According to reports from several users on social media and Samsung forums, the update to One UI 6.1 brought a glitch in the fingerprint reader to members of the Galaxy S23 line.
Initial reports stated that the smartphone heats up much more than before, while others say that fast charging has become limited.
However, the most annoying bug is that the fingerprint reader no longer works normally, as touching the power button makes the sensor light up on the screen, but Touching it does not unlock the smartphone.
Reports also say that for authentication to occur normally, the user needs to touch the sensor a second time. in some cases, The smartphone doesn't even display the fingerprint reading animation.
At the moment, Samsung has not yet commented on the matter in its official forums, but this glitch is rather annoying on a daily basis.
This is because the average user needs to unlock their smartphone multiple times, and this issue ends up “ruining” the experience.
In any case, the Korean company will likely release a fix for the bug in subsequent updates.
