Google breaks its silence about a security issue in its new “Pixel 6” phone

Many of those who bought the new Google Pixel 6 phone are complaining of a security problem, which is the slow response of the fingerprint recognition feature.

Some users have explained that the slow performance of the fingerprint sensor in the phone may be due to Google’s use of the fingerprint reader under the screen instead of the ultrasonic sensor found in other smartphones, such as the Samsung Galaxy S21.

In its first response to the problem, Google explained in its response to a user via its Twitter account that the fingerprint reader in the Google Pixel 6 phone uses “improved security algorithms.”

And she added that these additional protections may take longer to verify the identity of the owner of the phone, or require more direct contact with the sensor.

We're sorry for the hassle. The Pixel 6 fingerprint sensor utilizes enhanced security algorithms. In some instances, these added protections can take longer to verify or require more direct contact with the sensor. Try troubleshooting steps: https://t.co/uTbifE5Uyo. Thanks. ^Levi
