The fingerprint reader DOES work BUT here's how. You have options, the method my mother used and the method I used. We both got this exact cover.
Mine: I got the screen protector, put it on, loved it, and was then hurt when it wouldn't scan my finger. I almost pulled it off in fury! But what I tried was to change the sensitivity (a basic step as all screen protectors need that) then I went in and deleted my registered prints and tried to add them again. It was a pain in the ass!! You have to try like 5million times as it tells you "harder" like an unsatisfied partner!... but eventually it will start to read it. Down side for me is I had 3 prints in for the various way I pick up my phone, and the madness starts fresh for EVERY print you add. Smash and smash and smash your finger against the screen until it picks it up. I believe what it's doing is expecting you to correct the issue, and after a while just adapting to you some. Bc yes after the print FINALLY registers, it reads pretty easy. But at first its a little stubborn. Taking 1 or 2 tries to read, but after a few unlocks (maybe a typical days worth of use) it gets used to that as well and adjusts making it read like normal...
My moms method: so the principle behind this is the same, just in reverse. It adapts to the wrong inputs when they are consistent. So her prints were in before hand and she didn't remove them. She just fought with the reader to unlock her phone for a while. And just like with adding them, it will meet you in the middle after a while. It takes a little longer but is less annoying for some than fighting to get the consecutive presses for a new print to add. I still wouldn't buy this again but really it seems that ALL protectors have this issue in my search. They all claim to work and reviews say that's a dirty lie... And I hate the protectors with the hole in them 😒. Even their temporary cover from purchasing the phone new had a hole... So I dont think they expected us to cover it..... In the end I blame Samsung.
