Samsung Galaxy S23 fingerprint scanner bug will finally be fixed with an upcoming update

Galaxy S23 hands-on back of phone.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 smartphones are fantastic devices. However, one issue started plaguing them with update 6.1: a bug with the fingerprint scanner. Users have complained that the scanner doesn't work on the first attempt to unlock the phone. On the second attempt, everything worked fine, which was a pretty major annoyance for phone owners. 

Some users have even complained that the fingerprint scanner on their phone crashed whenever they tried to unlock the device. It would relaunch and work on the second try, which is a small consolation for how annoying it is to deal with.
