Fingerprint unlock not working. - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

The fingerprint unlock is not working when swiping left/right and directly launching to an app from lock screen even though the instruction itself says to 'Use fingerprint or unlock code'. Anybody else experiencing this?
PS: Sorry if this issue had already addressed. Searched & can't find the issue. If incase I missed, a link would be appreciated.

Bluetooth unlock turning off?

I've set screen lock to unlock with my LG g watch. I've noticed that it's turned itself off several times now, and reverted to swipe unlock. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone know how to fix it?

disabled fingerprints for lock screen but enable for apps

Hi!
Until the last update it worked fine.
I want to unlock my screen by swiping )without any PINs or fingerprints) but I want to use the fingerprint unlock in my banking app (or any other app). Previously it worked just fine but now the fingerprint possibility is just disabled in my app and I have to insert the PIN.
Does anybody has suggestions how to make it?
Thanks
Mike

How to turn off the screen by fingerprint scanner?

I am embarrased to ask this question 'cos I have been looking around the threads for a big while but couldn't find one. The interim solution is Nova launcher double tap function. Please kindly advise.
Note: My phone is running on Oreo.
Thanks!
This should be your ticket. Haven't tested myself since I got an S8 but worked on my previous phone.

Thank you! How about touch the fingerprint scanner to sleep without rooting, is it possible?

Question Face unlock since update

Has anyone else had issues with face unlock since the update?
I updated to software 13.1.21 and face unlock stopped working. I reset the device and now when you try to set up face unlock, it tells me to fold the phone, even if closed (see pic)
The front selfie camera still works so assuming it must be a software fault so does anyone else have the same issue?
No. My face unlock and fingerprint unlock both survived the update and continued working as before. The only oddity I noticed is that now if I tell Google Assistant to send a message or make a call on the unfolded screen it must think the phone is a tablet and says "sorry, I can't send messages or make calls yet". If I fold the phone it works fine.

Question Fingerprint sensor accuracy

I got a new Edge 30 and set up fingerprint unlock. After setting up fingerprint unlock and enrolling my right thumb, I have found out I am able to unlock the device using the thumb, index and middle fingers on both hands.
Removing and re-adding the fingerprint did not resolve the issue and it does not seem to be a bug specific to any firmware version as I was able to reliably replicate the results on S1RD32.55-67, S1RDS32.55-106-3 as well as LineageOS 20. I have not had this happen on any other device an this did not seem to happen with fingerprints of other people.
Did anybody else experience something similar with this device? Should I consider this to be a hardware fault or is the sensor just misconfigured/inaccurate and insecure?
