Yes, even if they haven't even out registered their fingerprint, a report in The Sun disclosed that predictable "gel-based" screen protectors could confuse the ultrasonic sensor. Wellspring, Samsung has declarable the egress and has stated that a software patch is in the works.

As per the report, if a substance abuser registers their fingerprint over the sort protector, then the Galaxy S10's inaudible sensor could malfunction and unlock the phone with a stranger's fingerprints as easily. Samsung initially issued a statement saying users should only use "Samsung authorized accessories" with the Galaxy S10.

Wellspring, if you want substantiation for the malfunctioning ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, past Chirrup user @Sta_Light_ has given us a quick demonstrate of the synoptical:

The Korean giant has since mentioned that IT's aware of the "amiss fingerprint recognition" and will shortly issue a software patch. This update should roll tabu to Galaxy phones with an ultrasonic sensor, which includes the Galaxy S10 and Note 10 card. It hasn't been revealed why the fingerprint sensing element is acting up all of a sudden.

Samsung has released an official affirmation addressing the issue. The statement reads: "The issue interested fingermark sensors unlocking devices subsequently recognizing three-multidimensional patterns appearing on certain silicone sieve protecting cases as users' fingerprints.

To prevent any further issues, we advise that Galaxy Note10/10+ and S10/S10+/S10 5G users exploitation such covers to remove the concealment, edit all previous fingerprints and newly register their fingerprints.

Please refrain from applying a silicone screen protecting vitrine to your gimmick until a software update, which is planned to personify released beginning next week, has been issued and applied."

For those unaware, Samsung's Galaxy S10 and Eminence 10 lineup use inaudible fingerprint sensors as opposed to receptor sensors you may find baked in to the highest degree other Mechanical man phones these days. They're said to atomic number 4 much secure as the sensor sends out ultrasonic pulses to notice the 3D ridges and valleys of your fingerprint equally compared to storing a 2D envision, which is the case with ocular sensors.
