The device does not recognize fingerprints properly outside
No title

Question:

Why isn't the fingerprint sensor working properly when I'm outside?

 

Answer:

Optical fingerprint method captures fingerprints using a display light source.

Therefore, if the fingerprint sensor is directly exposed to direct sunlight or other light, it can affect fingerprint recognition.

If you attempt to recognize a fingerprint outside, make sure that the entire finger is covered in the fingerprint recognition area.
