If you turn on this option, Samsung makes it easier to unlock your Galaxy phone with the One UI 8.5 user interface.
One UI 8.5 for Galaxy phones has a lot of new features, but one stands out. While not revolutionary, it will be a significant relief for all Samsung users who struggle to unlock their phones, especially with the fingerprint sensor. If the sensor malfunctions, displays errors intermittently, or simply fails to recognize your fingerprint correctly, Samsung's new system now provides a solution.
In fact, the benefit of this new option is not limited to those who are experiencing problems, but it can also improve the speed of unlocking the phone, allowing all users to benefit from this new feature to make the fingerprint-scanning process more efficient.
What is this option? It's quite simple: Samsung has added a new option called "Improve Accuracy" within the fingerprint settings. The goal is clear: to ensure that the system will correctly recognize a fingerprint you previously added that stopped working, thus making the process faster.
There's no need to delete your fingerprint and register a new one; you can simply update it. If it's been a while since you added the device to the system, your finger might have changed slightly, or you might have a cut or something similar. Because of this, the sensor might take longer to recognize it for unlocking, and the "Improve Accuracy" option can fix all of this in seconds.
Here's how to improve fingerprint accuracy on your Samsung Galaxy phone
The process is very easy. Simply go to Settings, then to the "Security & Privacy" section, then tap on "Lock screen," and then on the "Fingerprints" section. All the fingerprints registered on your Samsung phone will appear; just tap on one to reveal the "Improve Accuracy" option.
Once enabled, simply place your fingerprint on the sensor 10 times, and the system will update your fingerprint map, allowing you to unlock your Samsung phone faster. Is this only for those who have fingerprint recognition issues? No, actually, if you've noticed your Galaxy phone is a bit slow to unlock, this process might improve the unlocking speed.
The "bad" news is that you have to wait until your device is officially updated to One UI 8.5, the system in which Samsung added this option.
